A Year of Progression

A year ago today my life changed. I was introduced to a new world, a new way of thinking, a new way of living and loving and because of that, I grew. I learned more about me and my wants and needs out of life. I learned about why I made the decisions I made, why I chose the people I dated and why I loved the ones undeserving of my love. I learned to love differently. Or rather, I’m trying to learn to love differently. Learning to accept someone without changing them; or without expecting them to change. Learning to love in spite of the differences and dislikes and learning to love and move on when the dislikes outnumber the love.

In the past year, I have shed more tears, been confused more times, felt as if I were falling apart way more than any other time of my life probably, but it was all for self-growth and self-realization and it has all been beneficial in the long run. I think in some aspects, while I am still trying to balance my life out and hold myself up, it has made me stronger. It has made me more aware of the power that I am capable of and the power I hold within myself. It has made me more aware of the energies I am involved with and the people in my life. It has made more aware of other people’s feelings, whether genuine or fake. It has made me more aware of what love truly is. Of what heartache truly is. Of what Truth and Honesty and Accountability truly are. It has made me realize what it is I desire in my life, what it is I can’t live without in my life and what it is I will not tolerate in my life. It has made me want to be Love so I can receive Love.

This past year has been more than progressive for me. It has been enlightening. It has been disheartening. It has been challenging. It has been uplifting. And it has been difficult. But I’m still here. I’m still standing. I’m still strong. I’ve come to terms with what I am willing to change about my beliefs and what I’m willing to stand firm on and I’m so proud of myself for that. I’m more open and honest with my thoughts, my feelings, my heart, my life, my loves and while I have my limits and boundaries, I feel as if I have soared to higher levels of reaching within myself to fulfill myself.

Here’s to a year of Life Lived. A Year of Life Loved. A year of Life Learned.
