As I look ahead to my birthday in a few short days, I always like to reflect back on my past year. What it means to be another year older. Take stock in everything I've done and where I have yet to go.
26 has been a year of growth. Change. Understanding. Learning. Overcoming. Risk.
27 I hope to be a year of steadiness. I welcome change and growth. I will continue to take risks. I want more adventure.
This past year of my life has had its fair share of ups and downs. However, I'm beginning to see the world, my life, in a more positive way. I feel that in 1 year I have managed to learn a lot about myself. As a result of many things that have occurred in the past year I'm stronger than I ever was. I'm more confident. I'm more fearless. I'm learning to move on and let go of things I simply can't have. I'm taking more risks. I'm as brutally honest as they come now. I feel more like a little badass with my new found self. I tore off this flesh that wasn't me. I was almost pretending to be something else to prove myself for someone else. That is the last way you should ever live life. People will always try to change you into something you are not, but you can't let them. Ever. If there is one thing I have learned over the year is that I'm mad at myself for letting people walk over me and take advantage of me. That stopped. The moment that it did, something crazy happened, I stopped caring what people thought of me. I stopped letting people treat me in this manner. It's not that I have this attitude now that I'm better or being snotty than people, but if you talk to me a certain way, treat me a certain way, it will come back. I'm proud of myself and where I've come. I also realize I have so much more growing up to do and so much more I want to do with this life of mine. With this freedom of mine and this person that I lost and that is finally back I plan on doing great things in the next year!
Peace&Love
