First off, a big hello to anyone who may have been reading or has started reading my blog.
I haven't used Blogger for a long time now but would love to start writing here again so here goes!
Since my last post, a lot has changed in life. My father passed away on the 22nd of June 2013 and instead of letting his passing destroy me, I have taken every positive thing he taught me and used them to strengthen my character. I have taken up studying for an hons. degree in Psychology and I am really enjoying this so far. As much as life could have gone downhill rapidly, I feel that I am in a better place emotionally than I have been for years.
While it may seem that people too easily say "Oh just give it time, it'll get better!", those words couldn't hold more truth. As I have gotten older, I have gotten more wise to situations that once affected me so negatively. Each little crease that appears is not to be sniffed at, not to be ironed out with botox, not to be stressed over. No... Each crease that appears on my form is another reminder that as I grow older physically, I also grow older emotionally.
My life has been a huge rollercoaster of uncertainty. So many ups and downs that sometimes I have felt sickened by the never ending rush to the end. I no longer wish to rush. Now? I take time to appreciate everything I hold dear. My mother, my daughter, my siblings, my family and friends. Every day I wake up, I feel blessed to know that I am more loved than I ever believed I was. It took me many years to realise the impact and importance I have and had on the lives of many people.
Never doubt yourself, never look to others for the answers to your goals. They are all within you. Sometimes it just takes a long time to learn to trust yourself enough to utilise the key you have within you and allow those feelings to flood over you in a refreshing wave of newly found self respect.
Your world is YOURS for the taking. Seize it.
