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.
