Be Real with Yourself

You control your life.

It's time for a change.

A month ago I turned 22. I couldn't help but feel like I was running out of time and I hadn't accomplished anything; just like everyone, I have goals that I would like to achieve. There's no doubt in my mind that I can get it done. The question is: Why am I not where I want to be in life? The answer is straightforward: I'M LAZY. That, my friend, is changing. I'm getting my shit together.

One big thing that I have learned this last year is to have a good relationship with yourself before you put your energy onto someone else. When I started to focus on my relationship with myself, I realized that I had the potential to get a better job, do better in school, and be a better person all around. I learned to be real with myself; that's why I say that I'm lazy. I can have that job, do better in school, and be a better person. I need to get up and do something about it.

This year I want to change things all around. We can say I want a new beginning. A new job is a must for it to feel like a brand new chapter. It's also time for me to leave the nest and move out. I know I will learn many things when I become more independent, and I'm excited about it. I want to learn more about myself and what better way than being entirely on my own.

The highlight of this year has been my niece. She gave me a new title. I can now add aunt to the list thanks to her. I'm going to be a better daughter, sister, girlfriend, aunt, and friend. Family is the most important thing in life for me. This year reminded me how lucky I am to have the family I have.

Things are always easier said than done. One thing that gives me comfort is that things are ever-changing. The person I am today is not the person I was last year. Next year, I will be a better person. Stick around and see how I try to become the best version of myself.

If you don't like who you are at the moment, get up and do something about it.
