A year ago, I was upset and disappointed with where my life seemed to be going. At every turn, it seemed I was met with failure. Instead of continuing to live like that, I knew some changes had to be made. If my life path wasn't working out, I needed to take control and find a new path. In 2012, that is exactly what I did. The past year has been full of huge risks, new places and people, trials and setbacks, joyous reunions, new discoveries, real perspective, and deep emotions I once considered my life devoid of.
