I used to feel like being dragged along by life. It sometimes felt as if I was just a spectator and that somehow something else was responsible for all the stuff that happened to me. In the end I got sick of it, and started looking at the bright side of life (yeah, just like in the song ?). Only after that everything got better, and now I'm in charge of my life. Bad things happen of course, but I still try to make the best of it.
