Happy New Year!!! I'm sure many of us are starting the year with tons of things to better our selves and our lives with. "I'm going on a diet, I'm gonna find the perfect person to be with, or I will find myself" These are all such wonderful things to get accomplished at the start of the new year. But, why do we wait for January 1st to start all these brilliant things. Why not when we feel we need to? Why do we wait? Seems like a waste of time and energy. I say if you figure out that things need to change, then do it when you're ready. Don't wait till January 1st to get it all together or start new beginnings.
When I look at my current life, its a huge heap of mess. But, it's okay. It's my mess and I'm getting it fixed and some things I'm letting stay a mess; because its MY MESS and I'll get it together the way I think is best. I spent a bunch of the past few years trying to be something I thought I wanted to be or needed to be. I figured out that I did not like that person one bit and why I was trying so hard to be that person--someone I didn't even want to be or could be. People get so wrapped up about having the life they think other people will approve for themselves, but sometimes what people want for you may not be what you want or what's best for you. I know I spent a lot of my efforts trying to fight what others wanted and even trying to be those things people wanted. I realized something during my Christmas vacation--why the heck am I sooo consumed about what others want for me??!! What happened to what I wanted or what makes me happy. As I move on, not just for 2011, but for the rest of my life I'm going to do what I want or what makes me happy. To start with, I'm going to be me. Sure, you're thinking, what the heck have you been doing this whole time; but I wasn't doing that. I stopped being me, before I even figured who I was. I'm realizing who I am and I kinda like myself. I have a weired sense of humor and a huge heart for people, plants, and animals. I'm a huge romantic and cannot wait for my own love story to happen, and when it does I want it to sparkle with magic and romance (we can all dream can't we??!!) I'm very random and scatterbrained. I kinda maybe don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life, but who really does?? I love my friends and family. I love having a good time and I HATE HATE HATE the cold. I could go on, but then I take the fun away from knowing me.
So yeah my life may seem like it's in ruins, but it's okay. Because, if our lives were supposed to be figured out all at once, then why the heck would we even have a life to live. Life is about all the journeys that come hurtling your way. It's about how you embrace those moments and what you make of them. So, yeah I'm going to be all cliche and say "Eat, Pray, & Love." Our lives revolve around all these things and it's what we choose to eat, how/when we pray, and what/who we love that make up the life we have. So I say, this year realize what you need to do to make your life yours, but remember to smile and laugh a lot and maybe even love. And, oh yeah eat some delicious food along the way. Peace & Love Always.....
