The last night of 2012 was spent with some of my closest friends at my house. We closed the year reminiscing about the times we had that year and talking about ways we could improve ourselves in the year 2013. Of course, we had all these plans, but we really had no idea what 2013 would bring to us all.
If you are close to me, you know that 2013 was a crazy year. I would have never expected to be where I am today. I expected myself to be off to a university, having lots of friends, consistently making the right choices, and keeping at least one secret from my family still. To say that I went out on a limb during 2013 would be an understatement. My theme for this past year has definitely been, "Just Go For It". Every time I was scared, and every time I second guessed myself, or was nervous, I told myself to just go for it. With the help from friends and maybe a little bit of peer pressure, I did just that. I also learned how to channel my energy and think more positively. I don't stress out like I used to and I learned that one can learn from all different areas of life. I learned that I had to stop trying to prove myself all the time, that if I believed in myself and if I believed in others, that was enough to make it through my days.
Here I am at the end of 2013 with two great jobs that I love with my amazing coworkers, new-found freedom, a few incredible people in my life that I learn from and look up to, a new Beyonce album, and more clothes in my now wide-open closet.
See you next year.
