Moving forwards, because backwards is no longer an option.

I've been thinking a lot recently about how we as human beings take a lot of things to heart, too much in fact. Life is too short to be letting negatives take over your life. Everyone is bound to have weaknesses, and everyone is bound to have moments when they feel like giving up - but it's just not worth it. Life's there for living, you need to grab opportunities with both hands, and it's time to strengthen and grow.

I've got the best family I could ask for, they are always there to support me through every little decision I make. They are there to advise me when things get tough, and even if I choose to act differently, they are there to pick up the pieces if it all goes awry. I can't even begin to explain how much love I have for my family, yes we bicker from time to time, and thing's aren't always plain sailing, but they've been there when I've hit rock bottom, and when nobody else was there to build me back up. My family are my rock, without them I don't know where I'd be now.

Friends come and go, but there are a few in my life that are in it for the long haul. I've learnt in life that you can count your true friends on one hand, and my parents have always said that to me. I have a lot of acquaintances in my life, which although we have a lovely time when we spend time together, they wouldn't be the people I'd call in case of emergency, and they wouldn't necessarily be the first in line if I had news to tell. I'm also well aware that a friendship worth keeping is one that is two-way, not one-way, and I have cut strings from a lot of 'friendships' in the past that were all take, take, take. I thank everyone that has come in and out of my life over the years, because they have had a part in making me who I am, whether it be a minuscule part or one that's ongoing. To those that are sticking around - thanks for the memories and many more to come.

My life may not always be roses and confetti, but by having a positive outlook, the negatives aren't so prominent, and I have time to appreciate what I do have in my life, because I do have it a lot better than a lot of people in the world, and I'm so very thankful for that. I'm moving forwards, and I'm not going to look backwards anymore, it's no longer an option. Here's to the future, and to all my dreams coming true.
