A new chapter in my life has officially begun.
Yesterday marked the end of a journey. A journey of tears, joy, excitement, frustration and unknown. I will never regret any part of the previous chapter. It made me into who I am; it taught things that I couldn’t have learned any other way. It molded me, strengthened me, and taught me confidence, patience and love. I am thankful for the steps I have taken to get to where I am now and for the memories that have come along with each step.
Understandably, along the way, I have not always had unconditional support from those around me. I made a choice that not everyone would make, I chose me, and the peace I currently feel as a new, gleaming, empty page turns, gives me confidence that I made the right choice, if for no one else, for me.
Today is a new day with the next chapter just waiting to be written. I know it’s cheesy, but for the first time I feel like the world is at my fingertips. I can do what I want for my joy. I can make my own choices and my own decisions. It is a scary and yet exhilarating feeling knowing that I can only hold myself accountable for whatever comes next in my life.
The last page has been turned and now it’s on to Chapter 2, and I must say Chapter 2 looks like it has the potential to be pretty darn great.
I love chapter two cause I know I am in it :)
everyday is a new day, a new chapter <3
I never read this until today. I’m sad that you had to go through that but I’m ridiculously proud of you and who you are. It’s not easy to walk away from something when you know that someone is going to be hurt. You’re right saying that you have only yourself to answer to. Make sure that you listen to your gut and heed what it says.
