Esprit Libre

2016 is here. 

It feels no different to last week but I believe I have gained a new perspective on life. I will never be able to go back to 2015, rewrite those pages or edit any of the imperfections but one thing I can do is learn from them. This isn't going to be a 'New Year, New Me' post because well I don't see it like that at all, I'm the same ol' gal.

 On the 28th of December 2015, one of my idols passed and I'm not going to lie, it hit me hard because he was such a free spirit in speech, personality and passion. Whether that was for family, rock n' roll or his country, he stood true right til' the end.

And it made me think of everything.

Whilst working away in my 8 - 5 job, I'd never stop thinking of what to change, what needs to be different and what I had to do to achieve it. 

But stupidly, that's exactly the opposite of what I needed to do.

Putting my life into slots of what is expected of me was bringing me down; analyzing each step I took before I even reached the next. 

All I know is who I am today, because no one can predict tomorrow. But with that said, aspiring for my future has never left my thoughts and because of this it's now been shone under a brighter light where my doubts and worries aren't as prominent. This has lead me to broaden my mind to see what I truly have in my life, what I've achieved and how far I've come. It's early days but three days into this year is proving that I am motivated to achieve, to succeed and to keep going.

Rest In Peace - Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister (24/12/1945 - 28/12/2015)

"In your life you'll be amazed
About all you long to lose
You cant never live that life again
But one thing you will never lose
Is the signing in your head
That will still be with you till the end"

(Motorhead - Black Magic: "Till The End")
