There are times in life when things happen that make us feel like we have failed. We’re heartbroken and hurt, but we keep walking and try to make the best out of a bad situation. With pain comes acceptance, too. Then time goes by and with every new experience (big or small) we learn to know ourselves, what we want and, most of all, what we don’t want if there are things in our past we don’t consider good for ourselves. And then one day we wake up and we’re faced with a new opportunity, a new beginning.

Life is about risking it all, and I have learnt that I’m a big risk taker. For someone who thinks she was always afraid of life, I’m someone who has taken big leaps of faith and, fortunately, they have always led me to places and situations where I’ve been happy despite the sacrifices. But there is always the question in my head if I’ll be able to do things better than I did before. Have I really learnt from my past? The funny thing is that I won’t know as long as I don’t live my day to day and not stress about trying to be perfect in any way.

If we know there are thing we’d like to change to become better people, then we make the decision to change and we cross our fingers for things to be good when we have a new road ahead of us and that road looks like it’s going to be a hell of a ride…
