I never expected how much change I would encounter this year. I feel myself becoming somewhat wiser and start to value life.

We take life for granted. Too often we go through our lives as spectators. We watch ourselves and do whatever seems expected of us. We never take control and live... really live. We are afraid to do things that most consider weird. As I look back on my 18 years I am shocked that I have never took the chance to do something that scared me. 18 years is a long time but I have been afraid of rejection.

This ends now. I am going to sing to the radio in my car. I am going to wear what I want. I am going to find the beauty in every setting. I am going to truly live.

As I end this post. I hope that when I read this in the future I am still truly living.

Loving Each New Day,

Courtney
