Life is different this year, it has a different vibe, and it started out on a fabulous note as compared to last year. This time last year i got a wonderful lil phone call telling me i might have cancer. I hate it when people are right. Anywho... I really like where my life is going right now... I'm really determined to keep things on track and maintain it. Every week I'm setting particular goals to accomplish. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, and building bridges instead of burning them. Who knows... maybe i'll even go back and fix the damage I've left behind.
I'm just a happier person in general. Things are finally going where I want/need them to go.
"NEVER drink and park...accidents cause people"
I feel more optimistic about life in general, and more willing to accept things I haven't in the past... like growing up. Last year was all about me trying to stop time and go back to when I was five. I have realized that every age has its ups and downs, and I need to accept and LOVE myself and my current circumstances... if I don't like them, I should change them. Nothing in life is permanent... not even death. There are certain things that I've let fall to the wayside in the past few years, things I forgot about, stopped caring about, but that's all over. I vow ti work harder at life, and stop trying to find the easy way out. I like when things go how i planned them, but the only way to let that happen is to make it happen. I am more willing to compromise, and sometimes in compromise one can find that the result is better than the original plan. I'm not in a rush to do anything.

The past hasn't been great, but that's okay, because that's done and over with. The past doesn't matter anymore, not even a little bit. What matters is right now, and tomorrow. I have to live today for a better tomorrow.
I don't have to fit a mold or meet the expectations of anyone but myself. I set the bar for me, and believe me, as soon as i get close to it, it gets pushed farther. My best is never enough, and that is who I am. If I die knowing that I put my heart and self into every aspect of my life, I know that I did not fail at life. If i give all i have to give to everyone I can, that is the best i can do, and knowing that I tried is all that I need to be content.
