After the total debacle that was 2010 I vowed that things had to go different. My life had to change drastically. I would make it happen or die trying...and happen it did. I had even made a TO DO list. I've managed to achieve almost all of my goals.
I met a lot of new beautiful people, that made an impact on my life. They taught me how to respect myself again, to open up and trust again. I´m so glad to have met you and proud to call you all a friend. That also means YOU my dear bloggy pals. Some of you have shown support at a time when I´ve lost all hope in people. No need to name, names...you know who you are.
Than there the people that stood by me when I was at my lowest. They taught me to hold on to the people who really matter and drop the fake ones. Yes, I will be attending the opening of your first businesses, your engagement parties, your marriages and much, much more. Why all these personal events? Because we've known each other for so long, I will not give up on you. I will support you the way you have supported and stood by me. You have given me the strength to pick myself up again, so I may walk on my own strength.
Family. Perhaps the biggest influence. It was a big year of reconciliation. Letting go of petty fights and embrace one another again. You will always be the most important thing in my life. Family. True unconditional love.
So, much has happened in 2011 (I'll tell you about it when the time comes). I've had fantastic experiences but also made a lot of blunders and mistakes. Any regrets though? NONE. I've learned so much!
You know what they say right? “If it works out, it's wonderful, If it doesn't, it's experience”. Actually, someone on Twitter said that.
Overall, it wasn't bad...Not bad at all. The seeds of success have been planted...but now is not the time to get comfortable...oh, no. Next year will be the year of truth. Time to make good on the promises I’ve made to myself.
For now though...Enjoy your Christmas celebrations and have a very, VERY happy new year. Once more thank you all, so much for your support!
This is Johnny Madrid, signing off for 2011!
