For a large portion of my life, I've been chained to restrictions.
Restrictions that keep me from doing the things that bring me joy, and from seeing the ones I love most.
These restrictions make it hard for me to stay happy throughout the day. So when I do find happiness, I cherish and enjoy it while it lasts, for those moment are hard to come across.
Though, lately I've learned that to be happy, and to stay that way, I needed to learn to accept my restrictions.
Sure the rules I've been given keep me from experiencing many things, but these rules also teach me how to either adapt or work with my obstacles. These rule have taught me lessons I'll find useful when I least expect them to be.
I've learned how to work my way around the restrictions I've been bound with.
There is no way to get rid of the hopelessness and depression that drape themselves around me when these restrictions block my path. But the hopelessness and depression make me further appreciate my moments of happiness.
