this is the new beginning of anything you want. if i have learned anything last year, it's that i won't ever be ready for what life throws at me. i will never be adequately prepared. i won't have the right words when it counts for something. i won't know the right answer when fate itself is staring me down. i've learned i can go on waiting for something, sustained by hope and nothing more, or i can put it to one side and shrug my shoulders. bravely accept the fact that i can't keep my heart safe any more than i can stop love from taking everything from me. i have learned to stop saying yes when i don't mean it to live as authentically as i know how. to allow the tips of my fingers to skirt the darkness, as long as i remember to keep my eyes fixed on the light and as one door opens and another closes. i will move forward with the knowledge that unlike so many others, i have another year ahead of me and another shot at making it all the way around the sun, and a chance to get it right this time round.
