It's still here. 

I keep smiling (to other people, strangers or not, and to myself) like a silly monkey. But mostly, I keep smiling because God has literally taken away all the hurt and pain and replaced it with joy. So much joy, in fact, that my heart feels like it's going to burst from all the happiness it holds. How I wish every single person in the world  could feel the gladness residing in my heart right now. It is such an amazing feeling. :)

I was depressed for two and a half days; shortest depression phase yet! Haha! I simply asked God to take all the pain and the hurt away. On Thursday, after what seemed like a gazillion text messages between Aizel and I, more praying, and a talk with you, the pain gradually exited. Thank God! ^_^

Even when I think of you now, I smile. (Whereas thoughts of you nearly got me choking on my tears a few days ago. Bella Swan-like emo moments for sure.) I have long-since accepted the past, learned to embrace the present, and is hopeful for what's to come in the future.
