Silver Lined Clouds

I remember when I was having a hard time about a week ago Michelle sat me
down and made me tell her 10 good things that had happened to me that day
and 5 things I like about myself.
It was the hardest thing to do, but she made me promise to do it every single
day and to tell her every night on msn before I went to sleep.
Ever since my talk with Caitlyn on Friday night, it's gotten easier.
I can think of 20 things I liked about today and about myself.
Despite how crappy things turned out at Michelle's party last night, I can name
25 good things about it.
Michelle was there to show me the sun behind the clouds, and now I want to
be able to help her.
I want to be able to help everyone.
I want to be there for people like Michelle was for me, when I really truly needed it.
I want to be the one to grab someone's hand and drag them away
from "unsafe" situations like Carlye did with me today.
I want to be able to show everyone the beautiful things in life.
Because I know they're hard to find, but they're there for everyone.
Miraculous things can come from anywhere.

I remember saying that I can see now how my mom's
death brought beautiful things, but I couldn't see the good in what was
happening to me the past month or so.
Well, I see it now.
And the rest of the world should see it, too.
