My Pride

Another year's come to an end...and boy, has it been quite the year!

I'm such a simple person and can appreciate all the little things...I like staying in, I like reading or watching re-runs, I like the easiness of be absolutely boring. But, for the first time, my stagnant lifestyle betrayed me. It turned upside down and dumped me out into a whole slew of possibilities...possibilities that have always been there, but required more effort than my lazy-self cared to put forth in the past.

I can talk reason and logic until I'm blue in the face, but those words need action to advocate change. I learned that I, like most animals, have a fight or flight instinct...and that when I'm backed into a corner, I can very well defend myself, my integrity, and my worth. I know it sounds childish in a sense, but I'm proud of myself. I am damn proud! Passive I no longer wish to be...this is my life, and it's my responsibility to make the most of every moment of it.

I look forward to the new year...to new challenges...to new opportunities...to new goals...I look forward to life.
