I have learnt so much, been called same names, had some fights, closed some relationships, made a ton of mistakes but have looked after me the best I can.
I have also been made to feel guilty for some strong family decisions that I have made but what I have realised is that until someone has lead the life you have, no one can judge your decision.
I have been beaten by a boyfriend in my thirties, sexually abused by a family friend in my infant years and then not believed (as I understand it) until later in my life by family members, married, divorced, lost a brother to cancer in his early twenties, moved countries, been bankrupt, sued the NSW Police Force and lost and in that the time of abuse, aborted probably the only baby I will ever have because the abuse would have only got worse and I couldn’t even look after myself…. And this is just a snippet.
I have also learnt that I am no different to nearly every other human out there, we all struggle, we all are tested and we all at sometime are not believed.
But I now know with the support of the right people you can make it through, reflect and live a great life.
Don’t let obligation, fear, embarrassment or regret stop you.
2015 is your year… make the change, be the greatest friend you can ever be and give yourself a break!
And remember there is always someone who will understand you and listen, correct and challenge… you just have to be open to that person or their comments. As sometimes it’s the last thing you want to hear.
Twenty Fifteen… it’s going to be a damn fine Year. Do not let others limitations falter your journey!!
Happy New Year from me to you,
