I have a tattoo on my right index finger of an arrow. I did not get it just because I like the look of arrows. I read once, "An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus and keep aiming." It is a reminder to myself to always look forward, not to dwell on the past.
It is a new year, thank goodness 2017 is over. It was a tough year for the world and for myself. People often make New Years Resolutions and they believe the new year is a chance to change everything. I do not have a resolution this year. Everything in my life seems up in the air right now.
The last six months have been the hardest in my life. I do not see the near future being much easier, but my New Year's Eve was so much fun. It was a reminder that life is still a great adventure even if it is difficult.
I previously posted a bucket list for 2018 on my blog, which I will still strive for throughout this year.
