A Line In The Sand

I reject this reality, and substitute my own.

Since the beginning of the year, I haven't felt quite right. I won't say it's depression, but at the same time, I feel as though I've slipped into a darker and darker place. The doubt and lack of confidence that plagues me has grown and affected my moods. I've felt lost.
But today, I've come to a conclusion: Bugger it all to Hell!
No more Mr Moody. No more feeling sorry for myself. No more self-pity.
From this day on, I intend to accept myself for who I am. And I don't mean just a single, 35 (36 in August) year old, South Australian guy. I mean the true me. The one who will sing and talk to himself in public. The one who has no understanding of technology, but doesn't care. The one who is a geek. Dumb. Stupid. Shy. Loyal. Derpy, and crazy. I intend to try my best to enjoy life and have fun. I will dance in the streets. I will make new friends, and strengthen the ties with my old ones. I will love. I will not care if people think I'm strange, because I know I am. And I will be proud of it!
No more sorrow for no reason. Today I begin anew, my path lit by all my friends whom I know and love.
So join in with me. Let us all celebrate and live life to the fullest. Go out there and meet new people. Travel and experience life. Eat, drink, and be merry. and above all, be the very best you can all be!

And to all those who have supported me though my darkness, I thank you all. My dearest friends, mentors, and muses. My Plot gods and Soulmates. My journey would never have been the same without you. 
One day, maybe one day, I may have the chance to meet you in person, and hug you, and thank you for being the wonderful people you are. (And Web, that may start with you next year!!!)
