My favorite word
PASSION is my favorite word in the dictionary.
I pledge to push myself to overdrive this time around, to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the world and everything that it has to offer. It sucks to settle for something mundane, something safe, something that does not allow you to grow. Something temporal.
I have been through hell and back and I’m still alive and kicking a$$ \m/.
It’s something that I’m ultimately proud of. This year I learned to value sacrifice. I’ve learned to love it and embrace it everyday, as I realized that I can’t have everything perfect. You gain some, you lose some. And instead of dwelling on my losses, I’ve learned to focus and revel on my gains.
I have been pushed against the wall a lot of times and it’s such a liberating feeling to know that I have become strong enough to overcome those tumultuous times when I could have easily given up. I love the fact that I am living my life with such passion, and I know that I have not wasted any minute of it.
I will live with reckless abandon, knowing that Someone is looking out for me. It’s been twenty four years and I’m still okay. I’m still looking forward to waking up everyday. I will not be ashamed and I will not hesitate to consume everything that the universe has to offer with such overwhelming voracity.
I will feel every moment and savor it to the last drop. I will deify every feeling in all its delicate intricacies with the prodigious musing that my heart beats. I will love with all that I have and with all that I am. And I will live. Yes, it’s very important that I live.
I will not fear anymore.
