A few months ago my life had spiraled out of control. The one I loved had left me for someone else and the people around me weren’t fairing well either. I fell into a state of utter bitterness, suppressing the truth from myself while going out and getting utterly wasted to drown away the sorrow. My life wasn’t important to me anymore, and all I wanted to do was destroy what was left of me.

It was then that one of my good friends saw the pain in me and gave me The Secret to read. As I started reading I began to notice I had been attracting more and more negative thoughts into my life since the breakup, and in subconsciously doing that I had been dragging myself into a downward path.

So I listened to the messages in The Secret and started a new life. I decided to accept what had happened and move on, move on from the past I was desperately avoiding when all I needed to do was accept it. My life took a revolutionary turn and I began to feel happier despite my past.

I looked into the present instead, and saw what had truly mattered most in those times of need. Friendship. What had been dragging me down was isolation, from my friends and from my problems. I wrote a letter to no-one, where I said all my problems and feelings for them and let it all out. And then after that I was grateful. Grateful for getting everything off my chest. Grateful for my friends supporting me. Grateful for The Secret, but most of all I am grateful for finding love again.
