Hello my dears!
Isn't it funny how time flies? Almost exactly three months ago, I wrote an entry talking about how I decided to let go of the feeling of loneliness. Three months ago, I decided that and I can say that it was the best choice I've made in a long time. When I let go of what it felt like to be alone, my life opened up to a whole new realm of possibilities.
But that's not what I wanted to write about.
Over the course of my time at Western, I have changed my mind a multitude of times about what direction I wanted to take my life. When I started, I was dead-set on becoming a musician (which I'm still very proud to be), but then I wanted to be a doctor. But I hate blood. So, I decided I wanted to be a biologist- no, a zoologist. Thankfully, I had a rather unpleasant reminder that I'm actually quite bad at science. Well, not bad. Just average.
If you've known me for a long time, you'll know that I am in no capacity an average person. So why would I resign myself to a career that made me feel less than spectacular?
After much reflection, I finally decided what I wanted to change my major to. I decided to go into a field that I enjoy, that I'm rather good at, and that I can legitimately see myself doing as a career. On Tuesday (maybe Wednesday) I changed my major to English Writing. But that's only because Western doesn't have a major in journalism. I decided to pursue a career that I will both enjoy and do well at.
I'm excited this new chapter in my life and I'm excited to share it all with all of you.
Until next time,
Madi

What I Left In 2014
Hello my lovelies and a very happy New Year,
As is tradition with New Years', I made a resolution. Okay, well, not a resolution as much of a personal choice. When my Grandpa Sweetpea died about 3 years back, I lost the person I respected and cared about the most. That year was the beginning of the worst year in my life. I lost a lot of loved ones and had never felt more alone. Every year since then has been equally difficult for me. Personal struggles and losses always seemed to outweigh the triumphs and gains. I felt like I was in an endless cycle of loneliness and sadness.
This New Year, I decided to leave behind the feeling of being alone. I've decided that instead of allowing myself to feel sad and alone, I will feel confident and independent. I will remain confident that whatever hardships I may face will pass. And instead of feeling alone, I will affirm that I am remaining independent of those who no longer provide me happiness in my life.
These past couple years have been struggles for me. Part of that was because of my perspective on my own life. This year will be a year of happiness, success, and independence for me. I'm choosing to follow a path of my own joy and experience life and all of its wonders to the fullest.
I wish you all a very happy New Year :) Love you all; welcome to 2015, a year of joy.
