Thoughts.

It's funny how much a year can change things. I'm sitting here thinking of how today was the last day of the first month in a brand new year. This reminded me of the same time last year. I had a house, a good paying job, a car, great friends and a boyfriend who would've given me anything in the world if it made me smile. And I was happy in my own way. I had all I needed. Then I look at me now. I sleep on my moms couch, drive her slowly breaking down van, work at a good job but serving at a restaurant, etc etc. But here's the thing. I'm happy. I may not have the perfect life in other peoples eyes, but I'm back to my roots and remembering the things that matter most. I'm reconnecting with my family, creating a savings account, I have a beautiful woman standing by my side, I've found who my true friends are, and I have met some amazing people. I just think it's odd how much one year can change everything, nay, how much I have changed in the past year.  Last year at this time I felt I was living the dream. A year later those people in my dream are barely in my life anymore. It's bittersweet in a way. Would I go back? Probably not. But will I remember those memories fondly? Always. Now we just get to see where his year takes me. It's been such a crazy year already and I am thrilled to see where the path I'm on now leads me.  I have a new drive, increased motivation and a sense of belief that I truly can set out to accomplish every goal I have set for myself. Things have most definitely changed within me the past year and I am determined to push forward as positively as possible.
