Exploring the Unknown

I have been independent for many years now. Independence is what I have always wanted and independence I always get. When I was younger I envisioned a life where nobody gets in the way of my ambitions. Although there were many instances where I had to deal with those that hindered my growth, I still managed to deal with it in the most independent fashion. Now I can claim myself successful for having reached this far. It is not much to brag about but that is not the point of independence. The most important part of being an independent woman is having the freedom to explore the world and my self.

What I have achieved so far used to be impossible a long time ago simply because I did not dream so big no matter how little I felt. Now, one way or another, I have sufficed my life with the right amount of satisfaction both professionally and personally. However, these past few days I have been very busy attending to my pastry business and I think I might have forgotten the free woman in me. It must be true, what they say, youth brings forth many things but when age comes along, it all goes away. But I must not be disappointed for simply accepting the realities of life because I know that I can manage; I always have.

I have decided that in my own little way I will explore some of the things that I never encountered when I was younger. This year is the perfect time to try new things and see how they work for me. It does not have to be a big occasion or anything of that sort. I can try dining with old friends and try to reminisce particular events in our lives. I can sit on a bench in a park and feed birds. I can also watch a theatre production. Anything will do just as long as I enjoy every minute of it. At least I know that by exploring the unknown, I can feel genuine happiness.
