Happy New Year!
While a new year brings fresh promises and new memories and experiences.
As the clock ticked towards midnight I couldn't help but reminisce at how awesome 2010 was for me. It was a big year full of changes, new friends, love, happiness, and wonderful experiences.
I graduated high school in 2010 and I started college. I said goodbye to some friends and made some new ones. I tried new things that I'd never thought I would. I spend some time looking forward and a long time looking back. I ended the year content and unsure of what lies ahead.
It's pretty fair to say that the beginning of 2010 was the happiest time I can remember for a long time. I knew where I was headed, success was in my grasp and nothing could go wrong. It wasn't perfect, but it was damn close. It was an amazing feeling to finally feel accepted and a member of the group. It was familiar, warm, and safe. I was in control of my decisions and my life and in a way I still am. I fell in love with someone and I was happy to keep it to myself. I had the part I wanted in South Pacific and I found out how much of an influence I was in other peoples lives...in the right way. I learned that life goes by way to fast and every moment should be cherished. I learned that it's better to be remembered for being who you are instead of being remembered for trying to hard or being awful to people. I learned that innocence is, in a way, chosen. It's all about your attitude and your mind. With the right mind set and the right people around you, you can accomplish anything.
So here's the future, the clock is ticking and time will never wait for anyone. I'll take these lessons and face the new year....remembering the past, but focusing on the present and thinking about the future. It's my only life, I'm going to live it.
Cheers.
