Self-reflection is extremely important when it comes to progression and evolving through life. I think that not enough people self-reflect and that leaves many people feeling “lost” and not having a sense of direction. Well, how do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been?
I’ve been trying to think of a way to sum up 2012 in one word. I think struggle pretty much the perfect way to describe it. I have struggled with letting go of a lot of things and it has been a struggle at times to see how and why I needed to let go of some things in my life.
I don’t want to look back.
Last year, I’ve learned, laughed, cried and loved a lot. I learned how to think, analyze and choose what’s best decision in the long run for me and the others even if that means experiencing a little hurt for the mean time. l also concretely grasped the idea that I can’t have it all in one shot. Timing is everything. In the second half of 2012, I came to agreement to myself that I can’t always be that goody-goody girl who will choose to give up her happiness just for the sake of not hurting the people around her.
2012 was the year I learned to live without my best friend. It was about leaving my comfort zone and making the tough decisions that were right for me. Even if that meant I was moving on by myself.On the other hand, attachments have been broken. Somewhat, some friendships drifted apart. Two of those were due to the fact that they lied to me and I don’t appreciate that. And some have been broken for no evident reason at all.
Things I learned in 2012
Real friends are rare, and fairweather friends come a dime a dozen. Learn the difference.
Sometimes you need to stand your ground and be a bitch. Guys that don’t respect you think they can walk all over you. Show them that you ain’t for that shit.
So now that I’m done rambling (I really do ramble on a lot, don’t I?), here’s Goodbye 2012!you won't be missed.
