The chapter of 2022 has closed and a new one has been turned. We all hope for better this year and truth be told I believe it can happen.  Today we can choose how we proceed in our actions, tomorrow we can adjust the mistakes of today, and yesterday's problems are simply the past. It's all somewhat easier said than done but nevertheless we won't know if it's possible if we don't try. This year I plan to take more risks, grow spiritually and leave those behind that only wish to see me sink. 2022 was hard but we made it, who would have thought? Never doubt that you can because the very impossible is very possible in this world.  So take control of your dreams and don't allow others to dictate your future.

I remember always being excited for my birthday, a new year, Christmas, easter, and the rest but now it just seems like I'm outgrowing what used to make up my childhood. As such, I'm feeling increasingly conflicted as the years go by. I am now getting an understanding of why people don't celebrate or care for them much anymore but to be honest, I really want to keep those occasions a part of my usual lifestyle and I want to be able to count down the days and feel the regular enthusiastic me. Somehow it feels like a chunk of my heart has been ripped out and I'm losing what seems to be my childhood adventures and venturing into the world of adulthood. Not only am I scared, but the pressure of becoming an adult and the expectations that come with it will start to bear on
