My new years resolution is not to leave myself behind. I don’t want to forget who I am or where I came from. Everything I went through taught me a lesson, even the painful parts. Instead of running away from my past, I want to understand it and grow from it. I want to improve myself slowly, without pressure, and learn to be kinder to my own heart. This year, I will keep moving forward, carrying my lessons with me, and becoming stronger in my own quiet way.
