Finding My Own Happiness: from Pamela

One thing I have finally learned in my 38 years on this planet is how to find my own happiness. I have struggled with this in my past, depending on other people for my happiness, holding others responsible for my feelings or reactions. I became so controlling in the sense that I would avoid certain situations afraid of the outcome. I would try to control other people’s actions afraid of how their behavior might make me feel. It took a lot of therapy, screw-ups, highs, and lows to let go. To just breathe. To accept the fact that I cannot control someone else, I can only control myself. I cannot be dependent on other people to make me happy. I have to find that within myself. If you are struggling with co-dependency, I hope this helps you and gives you hope. Let go, love, and do what makes YOU happy.
