Realization.

It's crazy how things can just push you forward in your life. How easily you can move on without even realizing it. Not necessarily moving on from romantic relationships (or lack thereof...), but friendships as well. Some people don't even realize that the decisions you make have consequences. Unfortunately, a few people chose their path, and now they're gonna have to deal with the things that follow.

Things are going to be different this school year.

I'm making myself and my education my number one priorities. I think I owe that to myself after this past year of hell. I've been stretched and torn in so many ways. I'm sick of people's shit.

For someone who is so used to dealing with everyone else's crap, and being the "go to" person, I'm looking forward to doing things for ME. To be independent. This is a new chapter in my life that I'm not letting go to waste.

"Don't take me for granted, because unlike others, I'm not afraid to walk away."

I'm over it. I'm over people that are inconsiderate and self absorbed. I'm looking out for me and my heart now. I honestly think I'm a good friend to those around me, and I have been there for people who haven't necessarily deserved it in the past. I'm a forgiving person. But I will NOT tolerate the "doormat" appearance.

"The only people that you need in your life are the ones that have proved that they need you in theirs."

Here's to turning the page.
