A Year to the Day

It's been a year to the day.
A year to the day I finally got back the freedom I never appreciated until it was temporarily taken from me.

A year to the day when my life finally started to rebuild after being shattered into a million pieces I never thought I'd be able to put back together.

It's been a year to the day that I began to really think about my choices.
A year to the day when I started to be mindful and started to think about the person I wanted to be; because the person I was was far from what I ever expected for myself.
A year to the day when I chose to be better. 

It's been a year to the day.
And I never intend to repeat the mistakes that I made.
I never intend to place trust in those who do not deserve it.
I never intend to let myself be blinded by false loyalties and my idealist views of the world.
I intend to accept the realities; and to learn from them and to be better.


In a year from today, I intend to be better off than I am now. I intend to continue my journey and to make this day count as a benchmark to measure myself from.

This day marks the start of forever.

And a year from today will be even better;

That's a promise.
