Happy

Hello my name is (insert name here)
I'm XX years old and I'm happy
My life isn't easy and its full of experiences you wouldn't think I've had. In fact, my getting to this age is a miracle I believe. I've ran for my life, swung fists for others and pride. Felt love and warmth from parents, partners, offspring and sometimes I find that I love myself. I've gotten so messed up I don't remember getting messed up, I've cried until I've slept only to wake up and start crying all over again. I've seen the sun rise and it set and took it for granted, I've seen the seasons change and appreciate every stage of the life of a tree. I've climbed metaphorical and literal mountains and soared through the skies on the wings of a plane or the wings of emotion. I've lost friends, they took a piece of me with them, and forever the missing piece is a reminder. I've kissed the most beautiful spouse to be on my wedding day and stared at them when signing for our divorce. Ive seen the world and learnt everyone is the same but not everyone deserves to be heard. Ive seen hate for no reason, and care come from the most unexpected places.
My life is not over yet and I don't plan for it to end soon, but when its time for me to go ill be ready and welcome the next stage with open arms. Ive done all the things I can for me and I can safely say that the pain, heartaches, the loss, the joys, the laughter, the tears, the smiles, the intimacy, the contact, the conversations, the arguments and everything else in-between has left me well and truly, happy
Yours sincerely,
(Insert name here)
XX years old
