They say the world may end this year. Oddly enough, 2012 has seen a drastically different Gina than the girl who lived just a few years ago… I wear makeup now. I care about how my clothes fit and look on my body. I accessorize. I worry about my weight and then actually do things about it! I fall in love and out of love. I emphasize my assets and direct attention away from my faults (which I somehow no longer see as my entire body, head to toe, just a select few things here and there). I speak up in public about issues I have an opinion about, whether that be a topic in a classroom discussion or a problem being put forth at work by my boss or a co-worker. I don’t keep friends around who belittle or estrange or annoy me. The people in my life are positive forces that make me a better person and I hope I return the favor. I stride toward the future and seek knowledge. I don’t shy away from challenges and new experiences.
My life is my own, I’m in the driver’s seat, I make all the executive decisions. I sometimes fall, I sometimes stumble, I sometimes stop; but I just as soon recuperate, rejuvenate, and start forward again. What or who can I thank for such changes?
Myself. I woke up one morning, one magical life-changing morning, and decided enough was enough. I was tired of being so tired. I was disgusted with myself for letting laziness and lack of drive rule my life. I woke up wondering where Gina had stopped being Gina and had begun being an excuse.
If you want something bad enough, you’ll make it happen. If not, you’ll make excuses. Excuses no longer stop my life in its tracks. My life has become about nothing more than living. Join me?
Okay, so this is totally random but I've been looking for you for awhile now and I thought I'd lost track of you! I was the Twiggy account that roleplayed with you on RSFB! I miss talking to you so much because I think we could have a friendship outside of there, and we kind of did!
ReplyDeleteI've changed so much and I've just wanted to reconnect with you! I don't know when you'll see this but I'd love to talk to you!
Plus, if I remember correctly, there's something I want to tell you that will appeal to your interests! I miss you!
Well hello there, long time, no see! :) How are you doing? I was just thinking about RSFB a few weeks ago and tried to log in but I think my Johnny account was finally deleted or blocked or something by Facebook because I couldn't log in. :(
DeleteWhoa, how did I not see this until now? Okay, anyhow, yes! I'm doing okay, how are you? I miss you so much! :)
DeleteAh, I actually ended up deactivating my Twiggy account BUT, I do have other RSFB accounts still. c:
