  • Another Beginning

    My birthday is rapidly approaching - two days away to be exact. Another year older and definitely not counting. I'm searching. Searching for a way to slow down time. I really am. 

    A lot can happen in a year, both good and bad, and it’s always interesting to think, "Wow, I had no idea that was coming." This past year of my life has been eventful and even trying, filled with ups and downs. 

    As I sit here mulling over my experiences and wondering what the future has in store, I've came to realize that failure, heartbreak, and betrayal don't mean finality. Losing something doesn't mean losing everything. Just like everybody else who lives on this planet, bad things happen to you. At one time or another you will break up, break down, give in, get sick, be sad. Life happens. Life is not perfect. But every mistake is a chance to learn, to grow, and to move on.

    I am grateful for every experience I've gone through this past year.  It's true when people say things happen for a reason. Similarly, I believe that people come into your life for a reason as well. Whether you're still in my life or have moved on,   I'm thankful that you walked through those experiences with me, and for being a part of my journey.

    I'm ready to leave a packed, wonderful, but tumultuous year behind. 

    I look forward to the next year. Definitely not looking forward to getting older, but perhaps wiser and stronger. 

    Here's to new opportunities, new adventures and new places!
