New Year, New Opportunities

I recently found out some great news that will have me moving to a new city in the new year. Not only am I excited about this new phase in my life, but I’m probably most looking forward to the new people it will bring, both friends and possible partners!

For the past few years my future location has been somewhat uncertain, which has allowed me to remain calm regarding the fact that I haven’t been in a proper relationship in the past five years. I kept focusing on the fact that I wasn’t sure how long I was staying in a location and that seemed to make it okay to not be meeting people. But in reality I knew something was missing from my life and really it wasn’t my choice to be single. I was fooling myself, thinking I was waiting to be physically settled before I got involved in a relationship in a foreign country.

I seem to be convinced that as soon as I move or do something new, potential dates are just going to come flooding in, but if history is to be trusted, I shouldn’t count on this. I have realised that, although these moves and changes may present opportunities, it’s up to me to recognize them and to take advantage and no longer wait for fate to take over…cause it seems like he is asleep at the wheel!

So, my vow to myself for 2010 is to reach out to new people, either as a friend or a lover and to create my own destiny. No more sitting on the sidelines of life, this year I’m jumping in feet first!
