Back. Again.
These past few months
have been life changing. Many ups and
downs, good memories and bad, made new friends, and lost old. Over the past 10 months, I have found myself.
I finally decided that it was time to take a look at my life to make sure that
I am headed in the right direction. Best decision of my 24 years. I now know who I am and what I want. This was no easy task. The real, raw You is a hard thing to face and come to terms
with. Realizing your good traits is
easy, but coming to terms with your bad is a challenge all in its own. This decision led to many other unexpected
things. I found new hobbies like yoga
and cake decorating. I read more. I like to spend more time alone. I am closer with my best friends which I never
thought was possible. I lead a
healthier, mostly gluten free lifestyle.
I can talk about my feelings and understand others better. I have become a better listener. Over all, I am happy. Really happy.
I have come to recognize that I am independent, I am a leader, I am a
lady with poise and etiquette, I excel under pressure, I am opinionated and I stand
up for myself. I have a backbone and I
will not let anyone take advantage of me or try to control my life. Through the help of my friends, I have found
out that I have become wiser and I can give really good advice if the time
comes. That was the best realization of
all.
Then there are the bad qualities but I have discovered the positive in
them. I like to run away. Either from pain, life or boredom. If any of those things decide to linger around
too long then I am gone. The most
beautiful places are discovered when you don’t know where you are going. I am indecisive. When it comes to where I live, my career
choice, what to wear and even what I should buy from the grocery store. I feel like I should give everywhere and
everything a try before I have to make up my mind. You never know how good something can be
unless you give it a chance.
All of these traits keep life interesting. They give me many new opportunities and make
me excited for the new day. Who knows where I will end up but I feel like it is all about the journey. I may disappear for awhile, but I will never
get lost and I will always find my way back.
