And she lived happily ever after.

I'm not sure what the key to happiness is, or what life is going to bring me, but I'm pretty sure that I've discovered a new happiness.

This happiness is all me, no one else. I've finally learned something that I've been trying to discover for years, and that is depending on myself for happiness.

Life is beautiful, and I'm not depending on anyone to make it that way, besides me & God.

Thank you, God. <3

"But at night you're dancing through the pain even if you're the only one."

When it all comes down to it, life is one big struggle. But no one ever makes it out alive. I can't say that I don't feel a big negative, or a bit down, but I try not to let this overcome who I truly am.

Introspectively, I don't understand how some people cope with these things better than others. The mind is such a beautiful thing, and, analytically, we're all so different. Everyone has strength in them, and strength literally makes or breaks you.-- I know strength will make her. 

I'll find the strength in me. I'll find the strength in my mom. I'll do anything in my will to make sure this does not defeat her. And I will keep my mom standing. I promise this.

I'll pray every night. I'll hide the tears, and keep a smile on. I'll take pain for her. Literally.

The thought of her going through pain kills me inside. The thought kills my Mom. 

The meaning of family has never hit me harder. 

Don't give up now sweetie, life isn't ready to let you go, and I know this.
