Ever since I can remember I've said "New year, new life!". More often than not that so called new life ends up being a slightly different version of my regular life. Some things change, of course, but nothing major. The core remains the same.
This year is going to be different though.
This year is all about changes. This year is all about a new ME.
Truth be told, that "new me" was really born in 2011. Last year I decided it was time for me to turn my life around and I had to take more responsibility for my own happiness.
I learned to finally let go of things-and people- that were holding me back and that were darkening who I really was. I finally came to peace with the fact that being alone does not mean being lonely.
I have an amazing family that loves me no matter what. I have awesome friends who have helped me to get out of the darkest and deepest holes. I have a loving dog that makes everything better just by wagging her tail. Life is good.
MY life is good.
So now it's time to make it even better.
2011 was a decisive year for me. It was something like my unveiling year. I left behind people that tormented me for years. I finished all my classes in school. I reconnected with old friends. I got to do some work in my field. I learned to laugh again. I learned to forgive and let go. I learned to forget. Or at least ignore it enough that it won't torture me anymore. I learned to be happy without anyone's help but my own. I got to spend quality time with my family, and I got to see those who don't even live here! It's like all the loose pieces were slowly starting to fall into place...
Things were good, overall. 2011 was a pretty awesome year.
But now it's time for 2012.
I'm looking forward to seeing what it has in store for me!
New year, new attitude, new life... New me :)
