2013

When I look back at this year, I see a lot of difference. A year ago I was still afraid to take risks. I was afraid of others opinions and overall perceptions of me. I grew a tremendous amount in 2013, and in ways that the closest people to me don't even know about. I had my successes, failures, loves, heartbreaks, breakthroughs, and tribulations. Overall, I would have to say this year has been one big step in the right direction, and that is the first time I can honestly say that.

A year ago I was still caught up in the past. I was bitter over the way I was treated by my peers in high school and was looking for a way to lash out. I'll be the first to admit, I did it all wrong. I took my anger out on the people closest to me and in the end, it pushed them away. I think the best thing I did in 2013 was to completely eliminate the people that brought me down. There's no point in dwelling on people and relationships that are destined to fail or only make you unhappy in the end.

2013 opened my eyes to fact that if you chase a dream long enough, you can start to see it come true. If you would of told me a year ago today that I would be sparking the interest of record labels, have a fan base, and meet icons in the entertainment industry, I wouldn't believe you. My drive to succeed and capitalize on my opportunities is at an all time high. I'm at the point where I'm not going to be satisfied with anything less than successful, and in 2014, I'm determined to prove that to people.

There's going to be a lot of change in the next few months. Hell, there's already been a lot of change in these past few months alone. Whether it's been my career aspirations or my personal life, everything has taken a complete 360. Having a non-existant close family throughout the past few years has turned me into a completely different person. I've changed. I've learned to vouch for myself, and make ends meet. I guess when I was younger and had everything handed to me on a silver platter, I thought that was going to be my life. I was so wrong. Now that I am completely cut off and on my own, 2013 gave me the biggest reality check. No, not just a reality check, but a life lesson. I came from a town that everyone could get anything with a quick check from Mom and Dad, or in some cases, Grandma or Grandpa. The independence of these past few months has taught me how to work even harder so that one day money won't be a concern. In 2013 I lost a few of my closest friends as well. They changed, I changed, we all changed. 2013 has been a year of change. As I'm at the outro to this year, I don't know where the change is going. It's a weird feeling, because I see myself at a fork in the road. One towards a standard life, and the other towards a big unknown. Well a lot of people would take the road to safety, I'm not that kind of person anymore. My head and heart are yearning for the unknown. And who knows where the unknown could take me.

At the end of this year, I feel free. I don't have anything or anyone holding me back from the things I want to accomplish. I'm ready for the life I think I deserve. Even though I don't have the closest people in my life anymore, it's all good. The more I see everything around me play out the way it does, the more I wonder if things do really happen for a reason. I wonder if the circumstances that we face are just trials and tribulations of something more. Who knows, I'm still figuring that all out.

 A lot of 2013 was eliminating the bad before the good could really sink in. I had the best summer of my life, and I spent the majority of that time with someone I won't ever forget. I have great vibes for 2014.. I really do. I wonder where I'll be a year from now? I wonder if I'll be sitting somewhere typing a new blog in a completely different place talking about the great unknown? Only time will tell.

Until then,
