I feel like this year it actually presents an opportunity for me to improve myself and continue growing in the direction I am. I finally have the job I've been working towards since last year, it's not my dream job by any means (anyone who knows me, knows my dream job is to not have one, yet still make enough money to live well!) but it is a step in the right direction of me building a career, working for a company that can help me secure my future and until I can make money without the need to work this suits me just perfectly.
I have been spending so much time improving myself and my health that I haven't been able to actually enjoy the improvements just yet (apart from now being able to see properly with my snazzy new reading glasses), the feeling of being able to do this and maintain and build a confidence I didn't have before has been amazing and really improved my quality of life. I have worked so hard this last few months in my personal opinion, it is nice to be able to take a back seat and appreciate the little things that come my way.
I almost (dare I say it) feel like I'm blossoming into a successful young adult!
I strive everyday to do better, but for once, not for anybody else. I am proving myself to me and that is all that matters, it seems like I am finally beginning to overcome this anxiety that has been eating away at my confidence for so long. It sounds cliché but I am not going to let me lose myself again, I just want to keep growing and improving, it's addictive!
I am honestly so grateful for all that I have and so proud of myself for maintaining it, above everything I am grateful for those who have motivated me to do better and I'm even more thankful for the many bad situations that have left me no choice but to do better.
I look forward to this new year because for once in my life I am actually at the point I want to be at before the new year rolls in, so all that left to do is keep on pushing!
I do still have a few new years resolutions, by all means feel free to join me on my venture of making them actually happen, I mean lets be real for a second... as if I'm ever going to give up chocolate, pfft.
My resolutions are relatively simple this year, as I said, I'm just building on what I'm working on now, but maybe they might inspire you as well dear reader and that, well, that would make me really happy.

I am so excited for 2016 I've almost forgotten about Christmas! Don't panic a good old crimbo blog post will be coming soon!
I'm going to end with a quote today, that so very perfectly outlines where I want to be in 2016, from a book I read recently (Positive Thinking, By Justin Albert).
"Waking up each morning excited to start your day and going to sleep each night grateful for every opportunity; regardless of any challenges, is my definition of success."
