A New Year

Phew! I thought 2009 would never end. My 2009 overflowed with trials and tribulations of ever nature, and I am sad to say that there were many times when I don't feel as though I came out stronger as a result. A week before my 23rd birthday, something I would never have dreamed of happening threatened to crumble my world to the ground. It was my rock bottom. I realized that I had finally let my own inner demons and struggles get the best of me. I was no longer the strong person I had worked so hard to create. I didn't even see the crack in my foundation; I had no idea the walls were about to collapse. From this ground level, I have begun to put back the pieces, rebuild a new me with bits of the old but altogether changed. I am working my hardest to make sure I put the pieces together properly this time around.

"Nothing's lost forever. In this world, there's a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead. At least I think that's so."
