Reflections

As another day closes at work, I'm looking forward to an evening at home. Living on my own can be challenging at times, since I am not used to it, but the time to myself, to reflect, is a priceless venture in my new life. As daily bills and responsibilities pile up, sometimes it gets overwhelming, yet every opportunity gives me a chance to prove to myself I can do it. I can dream. I can achieve. My life is not ending; it is only beginning. Quiet evenings at home, doing laundry, cleaning, and taking care of every day chores, although monotonous, give me a minute chance to shine and to take pride in something. Every day, I have the opportunity to be myself. Every day, I have a chance to succeed. Every day, my life improves. I find pride in little things. I find joy in things I had long forgotten even existed. I rediscover my happiness every minute of every day. I smile for no reason. I laugh at myself. I am me, and even though there are faults that lie within all of us, I am proud to be me. I am excited to live again, to hope again, to love again. It feels great, and tomorrow will even be better.
