I'd like my first post of the year to be somewhat profound, but I can't make any promises. Let's just see where it leads, shall we?
(Edit: This was written on January 4, 2012.)
This is going to be a year of big changes for me. One has already begun and I can only see it gaining momentum and force, swallowing up all surrounding circumstances and happenings and twisting them every which way until they have no choice but to settle as something completely different.
I'm officially living on my own. This is something I've been working towards for a long time now ... something I've visualized for years, and now it seems surreal that I finally own a property to call mine all mine. This just further solidifies my belief that the universe is working to my favour and that what I put out there will eventually (when the time is right) manifest itself right before my eyes.
You may think I'm full of shit, but I'm in the building I've always loved (even since before it was built), I'm in a quaint part of town that I've always wanted to live in ... things just sort of fell into place and did so very quickly. But the key to all of it was that I took that chance. The universe presented me with the opportunity and I didn't run from it out of fear of change or that things might not work out. I jumped and now here I am in a place I love.
I think that my theme for 2012 is going to be jumping. Taking those chances. Doing things differently and keeping faith that things will come into fruition in the exact moment it's supposed to.
I don't see it as an "it's about time this happened" situation, but rather an "I knew it all along and I'm so grateful" situation.
