Reflection on the New Year

The first month of the new year is over, and I feel that I am in a state of transition. I love my internship, and school is going well. Career wise everything seems to be falling into place nicely. I am excited for future opportunities. On a personal front, I have felt very disconnected from people I have been close to in the past. I am not sure what has changed in these friendships. Could friendships be like relationships in that we have just grown apart and fallen out of friends or is the effort for friendship been lacking on both sides? Again, I am not sure what has changed, but I am sadden by the results. In a more positive light, I am reassured that true friends would defend me during stormy times. I am grateful to have such an incredible support group. I am happy to move forward in my life without a single regret. I stand by my choices in both personal and work related issues. There is no need to waste time worried or upset over an unchangeable past action. Life happens, and it is better to accept events and move forward in a healthy frame of mind. "Keep calm and carry on." It is amazing to see how far I have progressed in a year by maintaining this slogan. Intimate moments and relationships have shaped me into a stronger, happier person and I am gratefully for those. I love the person I am, and I am excited to see the direction my life is taking. All is well, and I can only see good moments in my future.
