During 2012-2013, a few ideas came to me to help me get through the darkness and find a way to see the good that existed, even though it as so difficult to see because life felt so extremely sad and dark at the time. I just wanted to believe that there was still a chance that there was still beauty in my life, that there was still good around me, and that there were still things that were going right, even if I was temporarily blinded to them. So I chose bravery. I chose to find happiness even in my darkness, and to fight hard to reclaim my life and make it my own again. I had remembered that life was about choice and that applied to how we react to our circumstances, just the same. I didn’t have to let my circumstances take over my life. “…to act for themselves and not to be acted upon…” 2 Nephi 2:26. I began asking myself every day, “What helps you (asking myself) see the good in life?”
