Unapologetically Me

Sorry about the lack of blog updates lately! I've been super busy between work, friends, the holiday season, visiting my dad in Pennsylvania, and E moving back to Oregon.

Speaking of which, E gave me the most beautiful necklace for Christmas! 
I think it is absolutely gorgeous and I see both of us in the necklace. The diamond obviously represents me, and the knot represents him. Practically every activity he loves involves knots in some way, whether it is fly fishing, spear fishing, or some other activity I can't remember off the top of my head. But, I love it and I was completely surprised when he gave it to me. 

On a different note, I decided that this year I am going to unapologetically be me. I feel like for the last couple years, I've acted in a certain way that has been defined by what people will think about me. And I have decided I'm going to change that starting now.

Although my friends, family or complete strangers may not agree with my choices or think that I'm making a bad decision, the only one whose opinion counts is my own. If I'm happy with the choices I've made then that is all that matters. I will no longer be afraid of being judged. I will do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and people can just deal with that. My true friends and the people that really do care about me will support me no matter what. And those are the people that I want in my life. 

I did not mean to go off on such a rant, but that's the New Year's resolution that I am going to definitely keep this year.
