Gone with the wind...

Were there some memories at some point in your life that you would die to just forget about? What about moments that you can't seem to let go? Either way, whether good memories or not, seems to every now and then come knocking and say "Remember those times... Oh, yea, those times..." But, no matter how unforgettable those times were, you find a way (or ways) to get through it and focus on what could happen in the future.

Prior life experiences through my early adulthood have had rather incredible impact to some areas of my personality and decision-making, in terms of how I approach certain things and my outlook in life, generally speaking. There were some significant "downfalls" during that period as much as, if not more, positive things. I must admit that, at the time, it was rather difficult how to bounce things off me, whether take them seriously or let it roll over my shoulder. Perhaps, by being at a young age, everything had to be translated into negativity as if things were planned in advance to overtake things over and leave you hurt. But, by getting older, you learn to take a step or two forward while "looking at the big picture". Sometimes, in some cases, getting to the "positive side of things" requires a considerable amount of life experiences. Let's face it -- we weren't born positive!

On that note, I only have room for positivity as I'm due to be in yet another adventure of my life! My new home awaits for me and I certainly do look forward to it. I aim for refreshing start and easy transition. I'm sure I'll be fine, but you can't help but still be attached to your prior years. However, those "bad" days are behind me and they'll be there to guide me better. This is just a jump-start, and I expect to see a series of exciting events to eventually surface.

The big word for me to live for this year is "independence". Also with that will be to motivate myself to working out more (since I'll only be 7 minutes from the gym) and look for opportunities to advance careerwise, probably towards early Summer, and hopefully, get an apartment by the end of the year.

Well, this is it ... I'm ready!
