Fresh Start

Weird. I haven't been back to Blogger in a while and now I see why! So many changes! But that isn't what I am here to write about today. Do you remember that feeling before school started again next year? You forgot the wrongs of the past and looked forward to the new school year with excitement and promise? I keep watching these hair care commercials and it keeps bringing in this feeling to me of that time, when I had fresh new paper and pens, school supplies, and maybe some new clothes along with high hopes that this year would be exiting and fun. I asked myself why I am I feeling this way? And it hit me just as I type this... I am hoping to move into a new apartment this week, and if I get it, it would mean a complete revamping of how I live my life. I am focused on my writing career, my schooling, and my daughter's career. I went through an excruciating few months with this person as a roommate and through all her psychological abuse and bullying it taught me so much more about what I don't want from my life. It also made me more determined in the path I have taken because her intense disapproval really only showed that the way in which I live my life is that I am doing some things right, really right. I know that my friends have all told me this before but seeing someone hate you so much for who you are, really made it clear to me. So I have that fresh start feeling that you get right before school started again- the excitement that this year things might be different! Here's to hoping that this feeling stays with me and that I have let go of the negativity and really moved forward in my goals!
