I just thought today, wow, I haven't posted on this thing in forever. 5 years to be exact. Got out of the habit of journal writing when I kinda got out of the habit of writing. However, now that I have some time (and I really miss writing, it seemed like it calmed me down a lot).
Life in the last five years have been nothing but hectic. Went back to school, got my associates degree in Criminal Justice, now working on my Bachelor's Degree. Moved countless times, lost people and jobs along the way, lost myself along the way, found myself, found the love of my life, found my best friend. That's the last five years in a nutshell.
Been to hell and back. It's made me stronger and its made me who I am today. Lost my voice. Found my voice and haven't lost it since. Found my backbone and refuse to let it go. Have formed opinions that make me unpopular with a lot of people. Really do not care. It's not apathy, it's just I'm beyond the point caring. People's opinion's do not matter to me, it doesn't make me lose sleep at night.
However, I still tend to take blame for things that are out of my control. For situations that I have no control over, I still take the blame. It's been a long road to get where I am at. It's taken five years, countless bumps and bruises, a lot of tears, heartaches and frustrations, and yet here I am still here.
As someone once said, I'm like steel. I bend, but I'll never break.
