i'm now a happier person

i can't believe i have come to the day, finally, when i can say i have become a happier person. what happened was really terrible, which is a really good friend telling me that she doesn't want to be my friend anymore. not that i think she's a terrible person but i have to say that over the years she had great influence on my emotions and it was not a good one. i liked her as a friend so much that i tried really hard to be the cheerful one in the friendship while everyone knew i was pretty sad all the time... simply because she is more depressed than i am in general. but now i realise that really sucked all the energy and personality out of me. now that she's not around me anymore, i feel so much happier despite losing a highly intelligent and capable friend. i mean, the moment i read what she wrote to me, i instantly burst into tears. I cried non-stop for like 2 hours until my eyes hurt, literally. and then it got me thinking, do i really need her in my life so much that im wasting time on crying over her leaving me? i spent some time looking online for quotes that could get me back on track again and pull myself together. i have read quite a few good ones but in the end i just came to realise that... now is all i have and it leads to the future... do i wanna spend even more time on someone in the past while i have so much to do for my future. and really, what kinda mood to be in is a personal choice and the most important choice. I want to be happy. That's it. I don't need anything that upsets me. No. And then, I have truly become a happier person. :D
