Be Strong. Let Go.

"Some think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go. "

For a long time I know that people believed I was running from my past. At points, I even had myself convinced that I was just trying to forget everything that had happened to me. Maybe a part of me actually was trying to get away from it all and somehow, I was also made to think that this was a horrible thing that I was doing. That I shouldn't turn my back on all the things that I had experienced that had caused me such pain.

Only now, my perspective is beginning to change. I can now adamantly say that I do not believe I am running away from anything. Only now, I can say that all of this time, I have been running to something. You see, couldn't it be possible that forgetting some things simply make it easier to find a new and better future?

Another thought that I have been really working through my mind lately is this notion of perspective and whether to see things as a positive or negative. So, the perspective I am most certainly going to take in this situation is that leaving the past in the past isn't wrong or anything to be looked down on. We can only live in a forward motion, moving towards all that we want and need for our futures.

Until next time, best of luck in being strong and running into a future worth having. Cheers, lovelies.

It's funny how life can take you by surprise. I used to get really tired of people telling me to be patient and that life will find a way of figuring itself out. They kept telling me that you find happiness when you least expect it and I didn't buy any of that for one second.

It's also really funny how everything that they were telling me is absolutely true and I can now say that I know from experience. The worst part of it all though is how I have to admit that I was wrong. I hate hate hate being wrong but in this case... being wrong was so worth it.

So to anyone who is looking for happiness or is on the verge of giving up on finding what they want most in this world, I'm sorry to say this because I know how annoying it can be, but you just have to be patient. The greatest things can be thrown at you at the oddest times, then, it's just a matter of taking a hold of the opportunity and giving everything you've got into it.

Best regards, and until next time, enjoy life and all of its beautiful surprises.

Deep Breath... Here We Go Again

Recently, I was told that I have been neglecting my blog. To tell you the truth, I didn't think anyone ever even looked at my blog anymore but I figured, what the hell, I have some time on my hands and might as well give this another go.

So here's the deal. I'm revamping the blog. Semi-new look (I can only change so much), semi-new thoughts, and semi-new experiences.

Moving on...

You may be thinking to yourself "what's with the picture?" Well, lately, I've had the feeling that I've been taking a lot of jumps in my life. Don't get me wrong, I've taken a lot of jumps before but unfortunately in the past, I've done so without looking. This time, I'm determined to not fall. I am going to land on my feet.

Okay, to finish this return post I'm going to ask you to grab something to drink, raise it high in the air and listen to my toast: Here's to new beginnings, second chances, and always landing on your feet. If the beginnings come to an end, second chances become just another failed attempt, and instead of landing you fall; then here's to the learned experiences and the friends that pick you up when you're down. Cheers, lovelies.
