Let's begin again

Ever since blogging became cool, I've blogged on and off. From Xanga to Tumblr and everything in between. I've wrote blogs where I've censored my thoughts and thought I was writing to a specific audience, I've wrote blogs where when I looked back, I didn't even know who was writing it. But now, it's time.

Over the last couple of months, something in my life has shifted. I am unsure of exactly what it might be but I am a new person today. I started feeling so blessed, so happy and so grateful for everything in my life. The first time it happened, I was driving home on 405 and it was overwhelming. For the past 23 years, I was always unsure of who I was. I was always lost, intimidated by other people and had little self worth. I finally can see clearly.

Life in general is amazing, seriously. The simple fact that we are alive is something so incredible. I feel like a large majority of people in America get caught up in the things that do not matter but unfortunately money, power and sex wins. But when all of that fades away, what really matters? I find that I value family and the connections I have with people the most. My concept of a happy life has shifted to a simple one. I enjoy new experiences and the simplicity of it all. Almost like my grandparent's generation where the highlight of the week was getting ice cream as a family. Women stayed home to take care of the house and the children and men supported this idea. Don't get me wrong, women who want to be CEO's of big companies and bring in a paycheck... more power to you. I just have a traditional viewpoint.

I am just a very lucky girl; I have a fabulous family life, an amazing best friend/boyfriend combo and I have great people around me. I also feel so blessed because I was able to realize what really matters in my life. I look forward to life everyday.

Until next time...
