It can only get better


image gotten from here

2days ago, i hit 4years as a blogger, My first post on this blog was on 22nd April 2009, i have seriously come a long way from there, my life is more defined, i now know what i want and how to get it,
I lost some friends and gained the best ones.
I am not afraid to be who i am, to stand for my beliefs and be passionate about my dreams.
I am not defined by anyone or by any standard society has placed on me, i have defied the odds and risen above them.
I found independence, and the strength that independence brings
I found love and support and genuine happiness in the most unexpected place
I found the drive to BE, to CREATE, to LEAD, to INSPIRE and to BELIEVE that no matter what I'd be FINE in the end, i always am...

I have definitely come a long way.
Physically and mentally, its been one hell of a journey.

Even my blog has moved from the personal junk of rants and gists to a whole lot more of what encompasses who i am as a young woman.

and i couldnt be prouder, i really couldnt be prouder.

It can only get better by Gods grace :)

Ciao :*

Congrats oh... my Blog is just a year, and i have struggled between closing it, keeping it alive, deciding on whether to write about personal experiences or maybe i should be abit more Vague and relateable, its been a learning experience, but im glad that im still currently learning. im glad for all the comments i have garnered and im glad for all the new people blogger has introduced me too.

I've been journaling for roughly 12 years now (started in 2000 when I thought the world would end) and when i read my journals from 04 and 05 i laugh and i'm reminded of God's grace.

12 years wow, my first blog was actually on Xanga in 2003, before i moved to blogger, so ive been in it for a while also, i was a tiny little 15year old then though, :)
At least i know you now, btw those old posts are the funinest, i enjoy going on peoples blog and just reading how they were years ago.

I still haven't had the time to go through your blog completely, but I am sure I will have a blast when I finally get to it. I started blogging back in '08, but it didnt work out, I tried again in 2010, and I guess my lack of motivation and/or the fact that I had no particular theme in mind helped send that one to the grave. This time around, I love what I do, and I feel like I have a connection with my readers which keeps me going even when I dont want to. I would love to put up more personal posts, but I am extremely private and consequently scared to death about the whole world knowing that much about me. Either ways, like you said it's a growth process, and I am glad you are able appreciate your growth thus far!
