Today I sit reflecting on the events of the past. I am not dwelling in self-pity or asking myself irrelevant questions. Quite the contrary; the vision of my future has been neatly placed before me. My future is guaranteed to be fulfilling, spiritual, and satisfying. I realize that it’s solely my responsibility to nurture myself.
I developed a false sense of desire believing I needed to be in a committed relationship to feel complete. I know that I don’t need to have a man to make me feel complete. Would I like to have one? Yes, of course. I don’t think I will ever get used to living alone, but what’s more frightening is to imagine growing old and dying alone.
I am able to differentiate the wants, from the needs. Everything will fall in place; all I need to do is take care of my mind, body, and soul.
This is the passion in my life goals. I know that I am blessed.
There is a new road ahead this year, and I finally see it.

When you imagine growing old and dying alone…as sad as it sounds…..so is growing old with regrets or beside someone who never deeply cared. I think we have to grow old knowing we did everything that WE wanted to do, despite our company or relationships.
I think YOU are a very special person. I base that on the vibe and beauty you express in your writing. You are so right! If you take care you of YOU, then everything else will fall into place. Here’s to happy roads ahead! 🙂

we all leave this world as alone as we entered it but we touch so many people along the path in between and our heart and soul fills with these encounters so i believe we enter this world empty but leave full of life and love. i think the new path you have set yourself down is just perfect.
