I can see clearly now.

I have not felt more confident, hopeful, and grateful in my life. Some things just need to be let out, to someone who truly cares. Now I really need to put this behind, and not let it bother me. I will relish what I have, and focus on other important things. Certainly, the matter has [...]

Jahanam.
