Cliche New Years Rant

So for all of you who didn’t know today is New Year’s Eve LOL (duh of course you knew)! While you’re making your slideshows on IG I also wanted to take a walk down memory lane. Of course we all look forward to the cliché “fresh start” but this morning I laid in bed and truly reflected on my year. I’ve grown soooooo much this past year. On this day in 2013 I told myself my focus this year was finding myself and becoming comfortable in the woman I am. Much easier said than done LOL. As any other woman in her early 20’s I went through a range of emotions and situations that tested me.  I learned things about myself that I never would have learned had it not been for the struggles I went through this year. I left the only job I’ve known since college to go to a 9-5 office job (still gagging on that one LOL), I became even more passionate about my blog and gotten even closer to my family and friends. This year I also turned the big two five. I thought it would a lot more climactic but none the less it was one of my best birthdays. When I turned 25 it was like my eternal clock woke me up. I started to get serious about all the things I’ve talked about doing and working towards. I got to know myself on a more conscious level. I’ve never felt more aware and awake than I did this year. My friends and I became closer than I had ever imagined. I never knew what true friendship was until I met them. I have never been surrounded by such beautiful, supportive and loving woman. And that in turn taught me a lot about other relationships in my life, from work to home. Most of all I’ve learned how important a foundation is. There is so much I aspire to do in the next year and I wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t learn the lessons I learned this year. My blog means more to me now than it ever did. It’s my baby and I’m going to continue to nurture and develop it into something that I can leave behind. So overall my goal was met, I’ve grown as a woman, learning to accept the things I cannot change and be the person I truly am meant to be. It’s n never ending process though so patience is focus this year. J Alex Style has so much planned in 2015. Thank you for supporting me thus far and stick around in the New Year. Be blessed, be inspired.
