Even healthy people need counseling...

My youth pastor has told me that even healthy people need counseling because we all have issues. It is nice to have someone to vent to, someone that isn't emotionally attached to your issues. Someone who won't get offended, will guide you and support you.
I talked to my counselor again today. We talked about how life is weird. Weird is the only word for it. "Life is strange, people are weird, G-d is good," she says. I have to concur. I told her how, if someone were to tell me back in mid December, or even the beginning of January that this is where my life would be, I would laugh...a lot.
It's true, I'm sad to say, because I am so incredibly happy with my life right now it's a wonder I don't have a cheesy grin plastered to my face.
Okay, that may have been a tad over the top.
If someone were to give me the cliff notes version of my life, say, in November, of my life up until my 18th birthday I would have answered with a resounding, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" I mean honestly, I was moving to Nebraska a week after I turned 18. I was going to go to Chadron State in the fall. I was going to live with my brother.
The person giving the cliff notes would say this: You are going to make your plans for Nebraska, be asked out by your best friend and dumped a month later even though you've already enrolled in college with him and gone back to the youth group with him. You're going to go into counseling and have a total falling out with your best friend, now ex, and with his circle of friends that you thought were also your friends and because of that, and because of him dropping out of English Comp. you will sit in a different place in class and meet a guy that you click with from the very first conversation. After only weeks, he will become your boyfriend. You will be happier than you've been in a very long time."
I would have probably said: Are you insane!?!
Well, actually, this hypothetical person deserves a hug...I'm quite pleased with my life as of now.
