With the new year in full tact I see people making all these resolutions that will probably be broken by the beginning of next month. You know the drift join a gym, work out 5 times a week for an hour soon will become just another bill in the mail that fills you with guilt for not having gone that entire month. Then there are the healthy eaters who usually go hand in hand with the new gym goer...they swear they can stick to salads for the rest of the year for lunch, but then they pass by the nearest Ray's Pizza and that goal goes out the window.
As for me...I don't think I've ever made any resolutions and I plan on keeping it that way. Making resolutions are only meant to make us feel guilty when we somehow go down the wrong path.
Aside of the new year and soon to be broken potential resolutions, I would like to reflect on the year that just passed.
2009 taught me a lot about myself and 2010 is so far teaching me more that I didn't know.
For one, I have learned to trust my instinct. Too many times, I've ignored it simply because it didn't seem logical or I just wanted to rebel and see what doing this or that would be like.
Each thing I've done I can admit my gut told me not to do it,and yet I did and regretted it. Of course life is too short for regrets, so I sucked it up and just moved on learning valuable lessons.
I learned what true love is and what it feels like for once.
You know how when you're a little girl and dream of meeting your prince charming, when it happens, it's never the way you envisioned it.
This past year I fell in love with my best friend and even though we argue and have stupid pointless fights, I wouldn't give up what I've been blessed with because I love him. So, at least I learned my lesson when it came to men.
Remember if a guy makes it clear that he wants one thing and you want another...and think you can change his mind. Spare yourself the pain and take his word--he means what he says and anyway chances are you can probably do better anyway.
I've learned or rather I'm still learning to believe in myself. with this crappy economy working at a retail store with a degree doesn't do much to boost my self esteem. But I'm accepting that this was inevitable and that things will get better...I just hope my writing doesn't get rusty.
with 2010 just beginning I'm wondering what great things this year will bring for me and those who surround me. I'm excited to face the good the bad and the ugly because that's just life as we know it...and we're a year closer to 2012. If the prophecy for 2012 comes true and I still haven't done anything with my life, I'd be uberly depressed but probably not around to even have that feeling.
Anywho I'm jumping ahead of myself and that's not for another 2 years and perhaps then I'll be a different person than the one writing before you now.
