That I like people more than I thought I did - it just has taken me a long time to find the right kind. I have found a group of humans that have become Family and Friends this year that I didn't know I needed in my Life.
Crap happens and it’s up to me to make the best of it. I can't let just one situation get at me. Yes, of course, take the time to be human— cry, scream, throw something. But then I need to pick myself up, be positive and make the best of it.
I am not defined by what I do, what I’ve done or where I’m at in life. I am me because of what is behind all of that. What makes me happy, my passions, interests, and convictions. What I am naturally drawn to, my quirks and sense of humour or lack of. These things can sometimes get lost behind the hard work.
It’s okay to stand up for something and not be liked because of it. Standing up, voicing and believing in my convictions is important to build my own backbone. I may see something or feel something wrong but I have learnt it takes gut to act on it.
It’s okay to not have life, people or situations figured out. I’ve found that the more I’ve tried to give advice or understand a situation/someone the more I realize I just don’t know the full picture or that something is a lot deeper than I anticipated. And you know what, that’s okay.
We all have our own journey’s to live out and WE are the only ones who end up living and dealing with the things that happen to us. I believe we can always be learning from others no matter who we are.
So, What did you learn this past year?
