The Winner Takes It All

"The winner takes it all,The loser standing small,Beside the victory,That's her destiny"

Although it's still about a week away, I am getting ready to be the winner in 2009....I have been counting down the days!!!
Going to be a fresh start. I'm wiping the slate clean. I've learned from this past year and I'm going to truly try to build a new life for myself; a life I deserve.
I want to let those of you know, who actually give a damn, that you should expect to see someone new this year. Someone who is going to be more confident, more determined than ever...more of an individual. I will be letting go (forgetting instead of always forgiving), I will be learning to believe in myself (instead of always putting my faith in others), and I will be defining my limits, capabilities, likes/dislikes, etc.
2009 is going to be a year where I learn to accept and move forward. Where I begin to acknowledge dreams that will never become realities. Where I solidify the foundation of my hopes and reshape the frame.
I want to be better than I have ever been before. I want to set new goals, reach new records.
I want to achieve. I need to fight for what I want, excluding love. Love's a whole new paragraph.

Love will not be chased in 2009...
It will not be searched for. Or cried about. It will not be longed for.
It will not be wondered or questioned about. I won't be that girl anymore.
I can't be her.
If love finds me...then so be it. I welcome it. But I will not fight for it. It must fight for me.

I guess I pretty much covered my intentions for 2009.
I thank all of you for this past year. I do.
I have learned so many things from so many people, and I am grateful for that.
To all of you out there, have a Happy New Year.
All the best for 2009.
