Freedom speaks volumes...

Today, I sit here thinking about all that has happened over the past year and a half. I can honestly say that I have had more good times than bad and it definitely outweighs the previous year. As I glance back, I remember feeling so helpless and weak, whereas now I am stronger than ever and full of drive...

There was a time where I wouldn't fathom the thought of letting my hair down and now I am unwilling to put it back up! I've met some of the most amazing friends I've ever had in my life and have experienced a lot of new things. I have partied like a rock star no doubt, but I've had the time of my life and that is all that matters, I wouldn't change a thing! I've learned so much about myself and for the very first time, I feel like I am actually free...

Now that I am in my "second" life, I am ready to do things for me. Happiness is a choice, therefore I want to live the way I want to, do the things I want to do, when I want to do them. I didn't have this option before and was certainly being held back. I blame myself for ever allowing that to happen and not letting go initially. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and I am grateful for who I have become...

There is some excitement mixed with fear in contemplating my future and I try and remind myself not to look too far ahead or plan anything. I have learned that my plans are not always what is in store for me and I trust that there is path before me...

I know that I am blessed to have all that I have in my life and ask for nothing more. I am thankful for each day and am at peace with who and where I am at this point. I have accepted the truths that have resulted into this and I try to take each day in stride. For every wish that I have made, I have received yet another blessing...

Freedom speaks volumes and I've finally reached that point. I've gained clarity and inspiration, and I feel that I am capable of doing so much more. I have faced all of my demons and have finally been able to forgive. This being said, I am ready for what is ahead of me and am no longer looking back...
