Happiness, Love, Accomplishment, Success.

Who knew the memory could be so faint?

That the existence of us seems so unbelievably small

it's like it never happened.

And here I am, exactly one year later.

Looking back on the distant memory of "what might have been."

I can assure you one thing...

I want this year to be different.

I want to live a year full of accomplishment

a year with no regrets

a year of happiness.

This is a year for me and me alone.

I want to be a better me,

a happier me,

a stronger me.

I don't want my thoughts and feelings to weigh so heavily upon the judgments of others.

I don't want to wish for something that I thought I wanted.

I'm not going to hold back

or cower away from something I want because it scares me.

I'm going to go after it

so that I can look back and think

"Yes, I did that."

and that's that.

That's how it's going to be.

No excuses.

No regrets.

Just happiness, love, accomplishment, and success.
