I’m Choosing To Look Forward
Yesterday was very much a day for looking back. I needed to think on what happened over the last few years, and get it out of me and on to the page. Sometimes we need that, and we need to learn that that’s okay.
Today, however, I am choosing to look forward. She wouldn’t want me to be living with one foot permanently stuck in the past. She would want me to go on and to live. I fully believe that she’s still with me, watching over me, and that all the while that I’m moving forward, it means that she is, too.
GOALS
In this next year, I have a number of goals. I want to have finished my second novel. I want to finish two series of short non fiction books. I want to get fit. I want to be in a position where I am creating every single day.
There are some days when these goals will seem too steep for me, and I think, on those days, I will probably have to just do the bare minimum (because that’s how it is with depression and anxiety), but the fact is always, that tomorrow is coming; and tomorrow is another day. A new start.
Things have already gone differently to how I’d expected them to, but I’m learning to just trust. There’s a reason why some things don’t work out, and sometimes that reason is because we’re not ready…
