Metamorphosis

It is absolutely astounding how much can change in one year.

I've been looking back at old blog entries from this time last year and it amazes me how different I am now. The person who wrote those posts seems so much younger than the person I am right now. She was insecure, unrealistic and almost naive. She was investing so much time and energy into a person who she knew wasn't good for her... but she didn't care.

Thank God for 2011.

Thank God for the events that helped me to grow, learn, laugh, cry, change, mature, develop, and challenge myself. It wasn't always a cake walk but looking back, I wouldn't change a single thing.

I am so much stronger now.

I am confident.

I have more self-esteem than I've ever had.

I'm not the only thing that changed over the past 12 months. Situations, relationships, outlooks, opinions... I feel like everything got flipped upside down this year and even though I kinda hated it sometimes, I see now that sometimes change can be a very beautiful thing.

Thank you, God, for such an incredibly influential year. Thank you for the new people You've placed in my life and for the ones who never left my side. I'm so blessed.

2012 will be my year.

Happy New Year, everybody.
