"The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires...Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance." -James Allen, As A Man Thinketh

The Future
2012 held many life experiences that will thankfully never be repeated. Those I shall not mention for the wound is still too fresh for the scar to teach its lesson. Another year brings a brand new beginning literally for me. A new town, a new job (hypothetical as of yet), a new school, and new way of living altogether. I can't say I'm not a little scared, for these new changes mean uncertainty, venerability, and admission of past failure, but I must stay positive for they also mean new opportunities, second chances, and a world of possibilities yet unknown. What I choose now will determine the rest of my life, of that I am sure, but I can't put that kind of pressure on myself, so I resolve to take one step at a time. I resolve to look forward with hope. I resolve to not give up no matter how hard it gets. I resolve to love myself with the care I deserve and to free myself from those who will not do likewise. I resolve to be stronger than I feel. I resolve to look outside of myself when looking inward becomes too painful. I resolve to create a future far better than my past.
