When Happiness Is Found (#MindOverMatterContest)

The Sun Beats Down

It took so long to break free, but finally I have. The sun beats down on my head. The sky is blue. The warmth soaks into my chilled bones. The breeze doesn't blow me away.

The sadness that had settled into my body is being pulled free. It's still there, but not so deafening. My body fills up with a contentment I haven't experienced in so long.

There's song and dance bubbling from within me. The strong walls that once barricaded my heart are beginning to crumble away.

It's as if my body is finally accepting instead of rejecting everything I am. I'm learning to be comfortable in my skin, feeling like I can finally do everything I've always wanted to do. There are endless possibilities.

Adventure is in the air. Hope is in the air. Happiness is in the air.

I'm smiling.

I'm happy.

I'm free.
