Regaining Focus

The older I get, the more I tend to reflect on errors past. I know it's really not good to dwell and I am the first one to tell people to move on already, but it really is hard. I think about all the plans I had for myself, the choices I should have made etc. But in the end, it doesn't really matter. Life is all about chances and circumstance. We are given more than one road and while the destination may be a certainty, the journey itself  is a little more arbitrary. We like to think we have control over things when we really don't. We have no idea what's in store for us but yet we still focus why ended up in one situation or another. Instead of focusing on why we got there, we should focus on how we got there. Now where to start????

Getting back to ME!

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything on here, or anywhere else for that matter. I initially started writing because I had to, school essays, work presentations, etc but not I write because I enjoy it. Writing helps me release all of the emotions have bottled up inside so I guess it’s my outlet.  I’ve gone through a lot in the past 6 months so I decided to take a break to focus on ME. Someone asked me a while ago about my blog and if I was still writing to which I replied “ I’m on a break, I need to focus on me right now”. Now I realize by not writing, I’m doing the exact opposite. Focusing on me means doing the things I love, reading, exercising, and yes writing.  Somehow, somewhere, I lost focus but as I come toward the end of my 6 month journey ( more on that another time), I realize that I need this avenue, this outlet, I need to get ME back. Here I am, so stay tuned……
