It never ceases to amaze me how fast time slips through our
fingers. I was driving to work today, contemplating the last 12
month that made up of my last year, and how much that has changed so
much.
Last year, I was ready to give up my fight for freedom and mentally
preparing myself to get married. Now 12 month later, that mental
preparation is still there, however the desire for marriage has all but
died. I still love life as much as I did before, now with the
realisation that maybe, just maybe I would love married life as well.
BUT now I’m content to let things come and wait for the experience,
rather then chase after it.
Last year, I was unsure about my job, my future, where my career
lay. Now 12 month later, I have my dream job, I have a direction
in my life, and I have a plan on how to get it. My salary has
increased dramatically allowing me to give back, just a drop in the ocean of the
love and kindness, and monetary gifts my parents gave back to me.
I know it may not be enough, but hey every journey starts with but a
single step right?
Last year, I was going through quarter life crisis, I was selfish and
concentrated more on myself then my friends. 12 month on, well it
hasn’t changed a whole lot, but my trip with my besties brought so much into
perspective. It doesn’t matter that we’re all different, and as we
grow we find out more and more about ourselves, and grow more confident in our
selves. What does matter is that we love and cherish each other’s
independence and personality, that our love is strong enough to withstand the
differences, and most importantly, we will always be there for each other at the
time of need, regardless of the thousands of little bickering that goes
on.
Last year, I was completely safe in a dream that someone else will
eventually come and take care of me. That my life has been set and
I needn’t worry about things. 12 month on, I have embraced reality
once more, organising my finances and the future, wanting more out of life,
looking further then just my nose and actually wanting to take the next
responsible step in my life.
Last year I was a little girl with a dream, 12 month on, I’m a woman with
a purpose…
