Observation:

For the former part of my life, I was actually a VERY happy person. That seems like ages ago.

They always say, "don't take the things you love for granted" and "the true value of something is never appreciated until it's gone".

I appreciated many moments of my happiness, and embraced them for what they were. Now what?

Clarissa Vaughn: I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.
