Life.It's amazing how quickly it passes you buy.
Looking back on my life, I can see how many interesting changes have occurred just within the past 10 years. Within the past 5 years, the changes are even more dramatic. I lost friends and I've gained friends.
I've had so many viewpoints that I once held so dear, turned upside down on their heads. I was once a deeply conservative bigoted right-wing Christian, and now I'm a radical liberal who openly loves and is fascinated by and respects so many different religions. I was once consumed by collecting all sorts of things, and now I could care less about all my meager possessions, save for some sentimental ones.
Change.
Expand your ideas. Expand your horizon. Believe beyond yourself, and you will find that out there is an amazing world out there. Trust everyone, be kind to everyone and life will give back to you in so many ways.
Wanderlust.
I know some people who have never left the confines of their hometown. There are so many places I've been and thousands more I'd love to visit in the future. To see different people, to be around different people from different cultures opens your mind to so many possibilities.
Love.
Never close yourself off to love and loving. Even the people who have hurt you the most in life, deserve your love. It's easy to be kind to those who are kind back to you. It's so much harder to love those who wrong you. And those who do love you, and those you love, love them every day like it was the last day you are going to see each other. Never take for granted those whom you love.

We all make mistakes, sweetie, and we all find ourselves wearing masks to hid who we really are. But you should find tremendous strength in your journey, in your growth as a wonderful, amazing person, and a beautiful, brilliant woman.
I can't possibly add anything to what you've already said, except that I agree one zillion percent!!!
To add to what Monica says...
Not only are you a strong woman...you're a much stronger woman than me. I for one find it much more difficult to love and forgive those who hurt me deeply. I guess forgiveness is a lot more expensive from me. Then again, that's what makes you such a sweet person...you're not nearly as heartless. *evil grin*
Like your changes.
just remember not everything of one's past is bad
so often when trying to change we loose what was good as well
have a great weekend
Change is learning.
Not more, nor less.
IF you don't want change
You will not learn to become and develope.
Some core things thou must remind stable other ways we would surely get sick :-D
Like Your blog!
I have been wondering recently along these lines myself. What if reincarnation isn't actual lives but a metaphor for the phases in each of our lives? Each being very different but built upon the “lives” that came before. I know with me I think back and I'm grateful for what I've been through and happy with where I am. I’m glad to see you’ve reached a similar place in your life. : )
life *is* change :)
