2010

This past year has been crazy. Literally. It has been a roller coaster of emotion, luck, advancement, loss, growth, and learning. Just when my world would spin so far out of control I thought I would completely combust into fireworks everything would cease....and just when I seemed to balance myself, life always pulled the carpet from under my feet. Thats the type of year 2010 has been. This year has really been the final jenga piece to topple the tower of the last five years, I must say.
The main thing I learned is this...life doesn't always work out the way you would like it to. A simple enough statement? Yes, but to truly grasp it... it truly is a lot to take in. You work toward something for years, believe your life is headed in one direction, always imagined yourself in one place and suddenly everything changes...
People who you thought would always be there, are not..
People lie to you...
You realize those who you thought you knew, you never did...
You realize you dont know yourself...
With every tear that falls a lesson is learned. You are stronger than you were before. Learn to read between the lines. So many times the answer is right infront of you. Never let anyone know just how smart you are and only let someone in when you are sure they are worth it. However, that does not mean you can not fully embrace them. It's okay to move on and leave things behind.
No one deserves to be lied to, screamed at, used, be unhappy or feel unworthy.
Life doesnt always work out the way you would like it to.....and it's okay.
Laugh from your belly.
Smile with your eyes.
Talk with your hands.
Love with your heart.
Live with your soul.
...and don't let a moment slip by unembraced.
