Reflections

I realized today that it has been over a year that I have actively kept this blog. I started reading some of my first entries and I have realized how much my life has changed. Back in March of 2008, I was feeling lost and confused. I had recently gone through a death in my family which impacted every decision that I have made ever since then. My cousin's death shook me to my very core and it made me face the fact that I wasn't happy with where I was. I made the decision to be proactive about it and to reach for my dreams. One of my dreams has been to live in SF and it took me a year of actively looking for a job, being told that I wasn't the right candidate to finally getting the opportunity to start my life here. It took me close to 4 months to find my apartment but it was worth the wait.

I may not reach all of my goals but that doesn't mean that I won't try. It took me a while to get to where I am today but I am at a point in my life where I am feeling content. I still have a lot of work to do but I am happy to see that in the past year, I have made a change for the better. It sounds sort of cliche but if you work for something that you truly want, you will get it. I am not saying that I am 100% happy with my life at this point but feeling content is a step closer to being happy.
