in the mind of a young adult reading a self-help book

self-help
self confidence

why do they call it self-help when you're getting it from a book?
oh right, the book is what gets you to help yourself

i have to remind myself of that sometimes
but the book works
it's just really hard
to learn how to be dependent on myself
instead of others

i have to keep telling myself
i will not find happiness in others
i will not rely on others for happiness
for success
i must rely on myself
i must be positive
think positive
and the self confidence will come. 

i repeat these affirmations day to day
hour to hour
because i must change the way i think
and, in turn, change what i believe
to obtain the happiness i deserve
and to believe that i deserve it

i deserve happiness

i will have happiness

are you happy?
