Be/Be the one I need/Be the one I trust most/Don’t stop inspiring me./Sometimes it’s hard to keep on runnin/We work so much/To keep it going/Don’t make me want to give up.
— Gwen Stefani be knowin.

2014.

2014 was a good year. Sure it had its flaws but I felt that I got back to the basics and focused on what truly makes me happy. 2014 was the happiest I’ve been in a long time. I traveled, I experienced things that I’ve always wanted to, but hadn’t because I wasn’t putting my wants and desires in the forefront. I in some capacity reached every single goal that I set for myself… 2014 taught me so much about myself and I am so excited to see what 2015 brings.

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.

Anaïs Nin

I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.

Charles Dickens - Great Expectations
