Throughout the previous years filled with self doubt, lack of self care and confidence, mind that occupied nothing but negativity towards everything in my life and the amount of pain and tears that could sink the whole world. Though I have went through heartache and pieces of me was shattered as an individual I have progressed quite admirably in the year 2016 and thus far is one of my best success yet. I have grown more levelheaded to see a different perspective, as well I have been more careful and thorough with my decision making skills. I am sharing these thoughts because I can finally say I have endured the pain and learned to let go of things I simply have no control over. It took me years to fill my head with a positive mentality, I admit there are still times I feel the wave of sadness coming over me but I have managed to control any thoughts of hopelessness. In my best regards to myself and to anyone who is going through the same path as me or to the person reading this right now: I truly hope that you will continue to grow to achieve the best that you can be, that this new year (more years to come) brings you genuine love, happiness and a proper physical and mental health. Also I am hoping that you are surrounded by optimistic individuals who will benefit into helping you get to your goals, if you aren't in that position just yet I send you strength to cut off anyone of anything that holds you back from becoming the best version of you. As a poet I don't want to sugarcoat you with any metaphors or similes because your worth as a person cannot be compared, to wishing you'll stop comparing yourself to others cause there can't be a better you other than you. So here's to a promising future, new discoveries, more self-improvement, remembering to take better care for yourself and years to come that awaits a lot of adventure and laughter.
