I haven't been on here in quite awhile, a year to be exact. And I've changed quite a bit during the significant time-span. I've realized what I truly want to be in life and everything that I want out of it. I admit, sometimes the year has brought things that aren't as good as I would have hoped. I've lost some people I thought were going to be there forever and thought they were true, unfortunately that wasn't the case. But regardless of the casualties, I've never felt so open, so, happy? A bit cliche, I know. I'm finally begun to realize who I am and who are important to me. I'm breaking out of my shell.
