And Another One “Se fue…”
Another year went by. While many will be glad 2011 is over due to the possible horrible experiences they had to endure, I take refuge in a blissful place. 2011 has been one of the best years of my life. I could easily write a small book of all my antics and adventures. I went to Canada and met one of my best friends who I met online for the first time; got to celebrate one of my good friend’s birthday in Florida where we just acted without thinking and lived life; I graduated with my Master of Arts; I got to explore a side of me that I never knew it was there and ended up gaining valuable knowledge of my own persona; I found two jobs in less than four months and both where within my field… The list goes on. However, this year was also full of ”de-friending,” drama, betrayals, disappointments… And again, the list goes on. But I can say this year I took it upon myself to try my best to not get all of those negative situations to affect me and the amazing person I believe I am – and I did. I feel the latter transformed me into a better human being – physically, mentally, and spiritually. For this New Year I encourage all of you to try and do just that: don’t let things get to you. Try your best to grasp your individuality and search for what makes you happy. Sure, somethings we cannot control; however, they can be managed. Especially when you have insight to what is not making you fell “just right.” Sure, you will have bumps along the road no matter who you are or where you came (or are) from. Life’s is going to throw sh*t at you and it’s up to your own self to wipe it off and decide how to manage that or keep crying, b*tching and moaning over the same sh*t over and over again without doing anything productive. Probably too cold, but I am a firm believer that if you got into a situation, be ready to face consequences, period.
This New Year is going to be a better one for me – I know it. Why, you ask? Because I learned to do what makes me happy and keep myself sane. Again, I encourage all of you reading this to never give up on your happiness because regret is something I’ve seen destroy people – not a pretty site. To those who are my best friends, you all know who you are. You all have my eternal love and loyalty and I owe to each and everyone of you so much. I hope someday you get rewarded for being such wonderful people. To the “new people in the group,” even though we haven’t met for a long time, I feel we are connected in some way and I am so happy I got the chance to bond with you even between the drama was spiraling intensely near you. To the rest of you, all of you are in my life for whatever reason and could not be more thankful. The latter because what does not kill me makes me stronger and I feel a heck of a lot stronger.
For this upcoming wonderful time of year I wish you all nothing but the warmest wishes from the bottom of my heart.
