And even the past had to admit:

The future's looking pretty good

The person I strive to be

Is better than the person I was

And the smile that trims my face

Is greater than the frown that adorned my mouth

How things are

Is nice, bright and beautiful indeed,

Much more so than they used to be.

This was inspired by someone from my past commenting on someone in my future. It represents my transition from depression to exuberance.
