There are countless opportunities and paths that we can go through on a daily basis. Forks in the road where decisions need to be made. Daily life can be full of "what ifs" that can lead to completely different ways of life. 2015 has been full of what ifs for me and there are many paths that I could have chosen however for some reason or other, I either chose a different path, or the things I wanted to happen didn't work out. Life was full of opportunities, joy and heartbreak and these experiences influenced me to become the person I am today. I still have to wonder though how my life could have been if things have gone differently and had gone the way I expected them to be. I can only ask questions such as, would I be as happy? How would my other self be? How would life look right now from the other side of life?
Although I can always wonder what if, each and every event which may have seemed unfortunate or unfair at the time defined and shaped me into a better version of myself. I passed up amazing opportunities due to circumstances beyond my control however in the long run new opportunities came which I believe are so much better for me. I met people who were not great for me, however they allowed me to see what type of people I do want to associate with and what type of people I do want to accept into my life.
As I am about to
enter into 2016 I am so much of a better version of myself and I am excited to
learn how to become even better. Despite all the “what ifs”, and ways that my
life could have been, I am extremely happy with every step even if they seemed
hard at the time. I embrace all opportunities that come to me and look forward
to the new year and the countless opportunities that will come. They may not be
exactly what I had thought in 2015, however I am ready to see what 2016 will bring.
