TwentyTen: the first quarter

Image found via google on Faithful City Life

I had a feeling that TwentyTen would be my year of growth. It would be my year of development and my year of working towards a better me. I don't know what exactly gave me that feeling. Maybe it's because this year is the start of a new decade, an opportunity for a fresh start. Maybe it's because I turn 20 this year. Or maybe it's because I have been fed up with the way I lived my life.

But the reason why doesn't really matter. What matters is that I want to grow, I want to evolve, I want to change!

The first months of 2010 were definitely not easy. There was a huge change in my life and it wasn't a nice one. Looking backwards it was all for the best and it needed to happen, but at that moment it sucked.

What gives me strength right now is that I coped with it. It took some time, but hey, I survived! They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm starting to believe there's some truth in those words. This was something I had to go through to be able to grow as a person.

But as a result of that difficult period, my inspiration was completely gone. The words didn't seem to come. Even things that used to give me instant inspiration - like photographs, music, quotes and magazines - seemed to have lost their magic touch.

Now - some weeks later - my inspiration is slowly starting to return. I am feeling good an I am a happy girl. I write and the words seem to start flowing again. Oh my, how much I have missed that!

So I'm sorry if I may have been away for a while, or at least less active. I have been neglecting my online life. But I'm back and I have grown!
