Despite that, tonight felt exactly like how I imagined life should be." That is a wonderful feeling. I have moments like that too.

"Being alive is about getting your highs and plummeting down. But it’s the fall, the crash, and the effort you make to scramble back to the top that makes moments like these really beautiful." Yeah, I agree with you on this one, too. I do get frequent dips in the quicksand of depression but I feel I have to give credit to myself for being able to scramble back and surging on with my life. “the same neurotic ramblings about how men suck and how they’re totally missing out on a really wonderful girl here.

May you have many more ups than downs. Very profound — you truly love life and it shows. May you have many more ups than downs.
