27 years down. Unknown years to go😊

When I look back at my year, and how crazy it's been. I can't help but giggle. 

Giggling is my second language.. I do it when I'm happy, nervous, sad.. You never know what mood I'm in, cause my giggles can be deceiving... This time I giggle because it's been a ridiculously crazy ride, and if someone told me you're going to do this and this and be here before age 28. I'd laugh and say you're joking, right? 

I surprised myself. I'm just not the same woman I use to be, and I'm embracing that. It's freeing. I'm living, and breathing, and learning. Oh, am I learning.  Life goes on whether you're down or standing up. I personally prefer standing at all times, but man have I fallen and taken some blows. I just choose to get up as quickly as  possible. I see no sense in dwelling on what can't be changed. 

I'm strong and independent. I know what I want, or let's say I have an idea of what I want in life, and who I want living it with me. 

Reflecting on this year is quite entertaining. It's got sadness, action, scary moments. All good learning materials. Life lessons. Things that can't be taught through words or books. Things that you can only learn for yourself, and it only makes you wiser, because you were once stupid. 

Life isn't full of flowers. It's not perfect, but I'm trying to make the best out of what I'm given.  I don't always do or act the best. I'm perfectly flawed. 

I never want to live my life saying I wish I hadn't. Instead I want to say what's done was learned. What shall I learn next?  I learned at a young age you can't turn back the hands of time, but you surely can determine your present. 

So, with that said I do reluctantly ( if I must ) open my arms to new age. New beginnings. New hope. Somewhat clearer vision.  I've been sleep walking my way through life, and I'm finally awake, and ready to take on the next chapter in my life. 

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, and I'm feelin free.
