Song Choice for the Moment:
Jason Aldean.The Truth

Around this time a year ago, I would have told you that I was the most
lost I've ever been. I was going through every kind of change you
could think of, literally a rebuild on my life. I had to just sit
down and think about where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, who I
wanted to meet, but the most important thing was it was about me, for
once, they were my decisions to make.

The year was full of changes. My Major. My School. My Job. My
Face. My Clothes. My Rules. It was difficult at first, I wasn't
sure where to begin or how for that matter, I was scared and
unprepared, but for the first time I was ready to face the music,
wanting to go into the unknown that I had never faced before. It
wasn't till around March when I was fully ready to go the long haul
and not stop till I got there, if stop at all. I had goals,
aspirations, I wanted to have my life on my own path by the end of the
year.

Song Interruption:
Kenny Chesney.Don't Happen Twice

Sure, there were lots of mistakes along the way, but a lot of which I
have overlooked as mistakes or regrets but look at them as a sense of
freedom from the past. Life won't ever be perfect, and for the last 5
years it hasn't been, and one of the first things I still have to
admit to myself is what happened in those years and that they won't
ever fully go away even though I'd love for them to most days. I do
have to make the occasional mistake to find the good parts of life,
and some things some people might call a mistake but I'm thinking
quite the contrary, despite what most of you may think.

Song Interruption:
Van Morrison.Brown Eyed Girl

Through all these crazy changes I've thrown at myself last year, I am
happy to know that he didn't change me as much as thought. I'm still
the same girl I've always been, I was just hidden, nobody really knew
me. I am more open to the world now, willing to meet and talk to new
people, dip my toes in unknown waters, maybe more excited than I used
to be. I am eager to see where I'm taken, not geographically speaking
necessarily, although that helped, leaving Houston wasn't easy but
it's what needed to be done and I love it in my new surroundings.

Song Interruption:
Pat Green.Let Me

San Marcos is beautiful and I don't mind staying here for the time
being, eventually I do want to move to San Antonio and give that a
try, I'm open to almost anywhere in the Lone Star State, I'm loving
this change thing but it's doubtful you could strip me from Texas. I
do miss my family being away from them but I have to grow up, it's
time for independence. I am also a wee bit lonely and miss having
somebody to call my own, but I have to be patient and not be pushy or
rush things, when he comes he'll come and that will be that.

Song Interruption:
Martina McBride.Anyway

With everything that has happened over the last few years, I know that
all those things made me stronger and a better person, I had to really
pull something deep out of me that I didn't even know existed to make
it through all the dark and gloomy days. A lot of people might think
I ran away from the problem rather than face it, but it was more like
escaping a prison that I was trapped in, you shouldn't have to live in
a miserable situation, and I do admit I got myself into and let it go
on as long as it did, but I'm gone and that's all that matters.

Song Interruption:
Brooks and Dunn.She's Not the Cheatin' Kind

The first month of this year is almost finished already and I can tell
it's going to be a good one, a Domi year, finally, it's been too long
since I've gotten one of those. Now let's see where this world takes
me.
