The name of my blog was taken from one of my favorite songs, "This Is Who I Am" by my favorite band, Cause and Effect.

Let go, embrace the beginning again...

2014 has been a year of crazy-high highs and a year of unbelievably low lows. I'm ready for a new year. A new beginning. A time to start over. I've been slowly crawling out of the hole of depression (again) and I feel like I'm ready to get on with my life. There are new things I want to try, things I need to keep trying, and some things that I need to try all over again. I've set a few simple goals for myself for the year. Nothing too complicated, or else I'll get scared and give up. Just small changes to make, that if made, will make a big difference in how I feel and what I do. Here's hoping I can actually do them.

One of those small things I want to do is blog more. I need to. I've discovered that it really helps me to have a place where I can just empty my head. I didn't empty my head enough this past year and I paid dearly for it. I paid in time lost not feeling well, being so depressed, just wallowing around the house doing nothing. What a waste. That is time I will never get back. If I can prevent this by simply typing my thoughts out here on my blog, isn't it worth it? I'm not saying that blogging will keep the depression away completely, but I know it will help me.

There are other things I want to do, too, but I don't want to take the time to tell you about them now. They will come in future posts. Also, keep an eye out for a recap of 2014, since I didn't get to blog about everything that happened when it happened. I'll do sort of a summary of the year, with longer posts for the most important things that happened.

So here's to 2015. I hope it's a good one for you. Stay safe out there and don't party too hard tonight. :)

Happy New Year!
