It's a New Dawn, New Day, New Life

Welcome to the end of 2014.
I know it's only December 30th, but with all the wishes and resolutions and celebrations, I won't have time tomorrow to gather my thoughts, sit down, and write how this past year has affected my life and changed my perspective.

This year has been full of new changes as well as some remaining stability.
Friends let go.
New friends emerged and carved themselves in my mind and heart.
Tough discussions and classes arose and man, was it a tough fight.
I left one job and started anew.
Finally picked a minor,
and am finally feeling confident in the major I chose.

This year held a lot of heart.
But a lot of pieces broke and glue had to be used.
I can't tell you how many hours I've spent sitting,
gluing the pieces back together.

But with every remake, every remodel,
It's a new form.
A new shape.
And although I am changing, it is interesting to meet a different version of myself.
There are some similarities to every new me,
and I know that all of them are stable.
All of them are kind.
All of them keep the ones they love tight (sometimes almost too tightly.)
All of them are strong.

This past year had held some of the largest struggles I've had thus far.
I lost a dear friend that meant the world to me,
took classes that I thought I was failing,
switched job paths and was thrown into a new environment,
took on bills and payments and loans,
and here I am still standing.

There's a lot of trials.
And contemplation of failure.
But what I've learned is,
through this past year,
through 2014,
is that although I may fail,
get up and try again,
I have hands to help me back up.
Some hands different, some hands the same.
But although you may fail,
you do not fail alone.
And that is comforting.

Although in the general sense of things, 2014 wasn't that large of a year,
(besides the various concerts that myself and friends attended in the city),
I have learned valuable lessons.
That's what living is all about right?
Learning.
Struggling.
Becoming Strong.
And finding happiness through it all.

And I can tell ya,
although this year was the toughest yet,
I'm content,
and excited for the year ahead.

Get ready 2015.
Eve Page is ready to strike.
Put up your guns,
because I'm intending to win this fight.

Happy New Year, folks.

With Love and Light,
Eve Morgan (Page)
