New Year. True Me.

I’ve been trying to find the answers. Trying to be better, bolder, brighter. I’ve tried to speed up, just so I could be faster than the rest of us. The faster you run, the less you notice what is happening around you. The years pass by like minutes and if you fall down it hurts like hell. 

Standing up, falling down, standing up again. Standing still was never an option, though running through life without enjoying the ride is not what it’s all about.

It’s always been about finding, embracing and simply just being your true self. Not living up to their highest standards, but your own. Not thinking you have to be different to be better. Be you and the rest will float to you. Enjoying your time in this world, in this beautiful body of yours is what your only New Year’s resolution should be. Happy New Year! Happy truest you!
