It's been almost a year since I've updated this journal.

I wish I could say much has changed since you last heard from me and although much already has, I can't bring myself to elaborate. I pass my days in a haze, unwillingly adapted to a routine I wish would already pass.

Wake up, brush your teeth, get dressed, go to work, go to lunch (sometimes), get out of work, idle before getting home, get home, watch tv, get online, escape, turn off, set alarm, go to sleep.

It feels as if there is not enough time in the day to alter any of those steps. But I'm mostly happy. I'm filled with nieces and nephews and my godson. ~destiny-warrior and me will be celebrating our 5th anniversary in February; there's a new angel on the way, a beautiful baby girl Sheyliannie which idles in her mother's belly at the moment. And I'm here, I'm strong, I'm whole.

I'm almost 22 years old.

I can't say I'm entirely satisfied with how my life is, but I am grateful of it! I know that I've been blessed with wonderful friends which I can call family, a supportive family, a great boyfriend and blessings... blessings all around, little ones one often looks over.

I'm thankful of it. I get stronger each day because of it. Nobody will be allowed to bring me down.
