Am I this cheerful...

My ears were on the chill-out disc, and I was flipping an old autograph book written 8 years ago by all my former classmates. Everyone was repeating the same thing, I was studious, quiet, helpful, cheerful, etc. In fact, I noticed they seemed to mention I used to smile a lot, I used to be this cheerful and positive girl. Am I, I can't seem to remember...

What has made me depressed again?? Actually, I'm happier these days, much more than in my school days. I guess bad experiences often put us down, made us feel bad about ourselves and tortured us mentally, emotionally and even physically. Today, I feel like I've found back a part of myself, that positive and optimistic outlook. Just a tiny bit, but enough to keep my little brain free from stress or disturbance. Even when I heard my parents bickering or nagging, it is not going to make me distraught anymore. I hope with this little gift, slowly and wisely I can find the way I want to do with my life.
