'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times....'

The decade is over and it goes non too soon, as it signifies the end of my hardest years.

The noughties have represented to me both all that is the very best of humanity and quite honestly times of humongous pain, fear and heartbreak, where the darkest side of life seemed to prevail, for far too long.

I'm not going to regurgitate all of those happenings, some are written about in the pages of this blog but many have been experienced privately, without making them known to anyone. Suffice to say they're in the past as this new decade hails new beginnings with the strength the years in between can't do.

So here it is 2010! I don't know if I'm a better person because of my personal struggles. Like anyone, I'm a product of my experiences regardless of the quality of those experiences. But there's only one way to go, and that's forward. I've already a proven record of taking steps and moving into new parts of my life, but there's so much more to come. That's no prediction nor fantasy. It's more like a dream that I'm moving into, as I begin to live life the way I want to, rather than the way my circumstances demand.

So that's it. 2010 has to be different. 2010 will be good for me, I'm determined. And I wish that for all my friends and family too.
