I'm pretty sure I left out a couple of things, but this is what I could think of at the moment. 2010 was the most challenging year of my life, but seeing where I am now, I think that it was also a major stepping stone that steered me on the right path. Despite all the heartache and tears, I truly believe that this past year was also one of the best. I guess there was a balance between all my highs and lows, but one thing is for sure; I'm ready for a brand new year and putting the past behind me. I'm ready to move forward and continue this journey. I have NO idea what lies ahead, but something is telling me that this upcoming year is going to be special or I might just be convincing myself that. Who knows? The truth is I'm getting older and I'm trying my best to find the ins-and-outs of attaining happiness. Success means nothing to me if I'm not happy with the person I'm trying to become. So I'm going to hold on tight for this launching of a new year, because it is going to be one hell of a ride.
