As I sit on this bus to New York reflecting on the year that just ended I am overwhelmed with peace and gratitude. I am thankful God spared me from jobs that weren't on my desired path and men that aren't on my required level. What's for you will always be for you. While I ended another year yesterday with no change to my relationship status, I have a supreme level of peace. I sleep at night perfectly fine knowing that I gave my best in every relationship, every encounter. I found a way to see the best in some people who simply aren't quality individuals. I gave love a fighting chance and I came out with my dignity and self-respect.
I left a lot of dead weight in 2014. I can stand tall with minimal weight on these shoulders of mine. My education is complete and I will cross the stage with my masters in February. I have a great job with a fantastic work environment. I have the best sisters my parents never gave me but God did. I have beautiful nieces and a dynamic duo of a cat and dog.
I don't worry about someone cheating on me, I worry only about not cheating myself of what I deserve and for that I am eternally grateful. I kissed three of my best friends at midnight and I wouldn't have had it any other way. God took out trash this year and I'm confident that it is in preparation for something grand.
