A picture of you last year and now, how you have changed since thenThe first photograph is of me approximately this time last year, the second was taken today. Well my entire life has changed in the space of that one year, hardly anything is the same. I grew up and moved on from high school, something I never thought would happen. I realised that a whole other world existed, a world that I wanted to explore and taste. I put many old relationships behind me, some unwillingly and with great pain, and others with ease. Other relationships I carried with me, holding fast to for dear life. I welcomed new relationships and began the foreign journey of having to meet people all over again. I let go of past hurt and began to let time heal wounds, no matter how excruciating the process was. I learned to stand up for myself and what I believe in and not to let others define my life for me. I'm becoming comfortable in my own skin, which is still a continual process. Most importantly, I've discovered that life goes on, no matter what happens. No matter how much hurt or pain or tears that have occurred, life continues to march on. As many friendships fail, there are others waiting in the wings that are much more worth while. Somewhere along this journey I grew up, I stopped living for others and letting boys define me and how I treated myself. I think as adolescents we all run around pretty lost, looking for meaning in our lives and what we should be living for. I started to believe in myself and my potential and somewhere along the way that lost little girl finally grew up.
Until next time fellow humans....
