How far can I go without turning back?

"If you've never been at the bottom, you can't get to the top...If you've never been to the right, you can't go to the left...If you've never lost hope, you can't understand what is truly important."

It's another beginning to a new year and another beginning to a part of my life. I've made a huge and drastic change and it's hard for me to explain it to people but I'm taking a detour in this path of life and hopefully this detour isn't leading to any dead end. Let's just say, I'm not looking for the easiest path or the fastest, just the right one. This year though, has already been great. My new year's eve was unforgettable and these last few weeks have been real encouraging, relaxing, and fun. I still feel uncertain about what's ahead but things have been going so well lately that this uncertainty kind of excites me. I'm actually anxious. I'm looking forward to what might happen and I'm determined to improve myself. Even if I did have a great year last year, I'm always hoping that the next would always be better than the last, otherwise there wouldn't be anything more to live for. My eyes are open, my heart is taken, and my mind is able. 2010, be good to me.
