I’m starting out 2019 feeling pretty confident with myself. I feel like I have a lot of ambition and I’m ready to make some meaningful changes in my life.
I definitely made a step in the right direction when I left my old job a year and a half ago. New things are always fun and exciting, even if only for a little while. Plus I left a job that made my insides cringe and writhe, so getting out of there was a good decision no matter what.
Things have shifted dramatically since starting my current job. I’ve made new friends and strengthened old bonds. I’ve made great strides toward making myself more financially stable. My longtime roommate and best friend from college moved to the other side of the country in pursuit of his dream – some really inspiring shit, if I’m to tell the truth. And I’ve moved out of our old, dearly treasured apartment of six years as well, and into a gorgeous apartment with my some of my closest friends.
I’m in a new place, surrounded by new influences, and I can feel the energy rising within me like I’m about to crest over to the other side of some lifelong dream I’ve always wanted. For better or worse. One thing that I have learned for certain in the past several years is that life will not wait for you. You’ve got to go out there and make the most of it. There’s always a greater life waiting for you; Sometimes it’s through opportunity, sometimes it’s through personal growth, sometimes it’s love. But you’ve got to go out there and find something new.
Newness doesn’t come without change. And change isn’t always easy. But it’s worth it if you believe in it. Believe that what you need out of life will happen and it will. Manifest. Experience. Grow. Change.
It’s in the cards for me this year and I feel it. I just know I’m about to start the next chapter of my life and I’m so excited.
