New beginnings

It's not going to be that easy, I know that, but I'm done with this year, I'm done with these feelings. It all starts with frame of mind. 

This year has brought more than one heartache, it brought challenges, loss and found me battling myself in ways I thought I'd buried long ago. 

This year I had my trust shattered as it hasn't been done in years and I will have to build it from scratch again. 

I'm hurting, I'm bruised, I'm battered, but I am strong, I haven't been defeated yet and I will not be this year. I might stagger, I might fall, but you know what? I'm going to get right back up again. I will not let my past - and in some cases my present - stop me from being happy anymore. I won't be defeated by this bloody black dog.
