I did not have a hangover the other day. I just felt the need to let the world know. Though, by the relative coherence of my last post, I'd think that was obvious anyway. Actually, there were fewer typos in that post than there are when I'm entirely sober. ANYWAY.
My mom left for her new job yesterday, leaving me here and in charge of getting the house ready for the movers to come. I get to do all sorts of fun things like pack books and linens and paint walls back to white. I know people would be jealous if they knew.
As for everything else...hmm. The thing with my sister, I'm still trying to work out. As much as I like for life to be cheery and happy, we've all got issues that make it less so. Generally speaking I think being happy is about choosing to be happy, but sometimes that's a hard choice to make. Knowing myself, though, by the time I see her, I will have chosen it, and everything will be fine.
Though I need to clarify that I'm not talking about repressing anger and sadness. That's what I mean about the choice. You have to face those emotions head on and ask yourself if they're still really worth the effort of feeling. If they are, you confront whoever is the source, if they aren't, you let it go. So far in this situation everything has been worth letting go, especially seeing as there's an apology behind all of it.
I suppose one might think a simplistic view like that makes me naive, but I'm happy, so am I really all that naive?
Right. So there's Sarah's Theory on How to Be Happy. Just choose it.*
