Starting with me

            I have decided to take a step in another direction as my YouTube channel @justkyralynn I talk about the many interest I have, but for my blog I wanted something more personal. This is the opening post to my hopefully daily blog on myself as I make the change in my life that I want to see.

 

            As a new year has been in effect for 13 days a few things have been flying through my mind. The saying “New Year New Me” has been plastered all over social media by people who want to change themselves for what they believe to be the better. I personally don’t think “New Year New Me” is the saying I’m looking for. Christina Perry said it best “I am only Human and I bleed when fall down”. This year I want to make a change for the better not because I want to be new, rather because I want to better myself and make my life better for me. After my accident last semester I have found myself utterly lost. Things I thought mattered and habits I believed where perfectly fine turned out to be more toxic then smog. Gandhi said that we need to be the change we want to see in the world. An even if in our own little worlds I believe this. Change starts with you. Not some new you who woke up on New Year’s Day. No, change starts with the old me trying to become a better person not a new one altogether. With the semester starting tomorrow I will begin the journey in all aspects of my life. I pray that the Lord’s spirit powers me to make the change I want to see. Popular singer Michael Jackson said in his song Man in the Mirror “I’m starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways” and with the Lords help I’m doing the same.
