(no subject)
You know, it doesn't seem like it's been a year since the last time I did a new year reflection type thing.
That probably makes no sense.. but you know. It's just that 2006 has by far passed more quickly (relatively.. ya know, whatever) than any other year in my life.
I've been through SO many ups and downs this past year.
I've had numerous people come into my life and some have gone, but all left some sort of impact on me.
I feel like despite all the shit, it was a good year... I learned a lot about myself and the things I'm willing to stand up for or back down from, and I've tested my own limits.
I think one of my biggest realizations is that people change and you can't hold it against them, and you shouldn't let people's actions hold you back from being happy. I honestly don't think I've ever truly been able to say this before, but I have no regrets from 2006. Though a lot of stupid things happened that sometimes I wish hadn't, and at the time I was really upset about, I'm glad they did.
I watched Little Miss Sunshine the other day (which, by the way, I thought was a fabulous movie) and at the end there's this part where the guy is talking about some writer and how he preferred all his suffering years to the years in which he was happy. That sounds sort of crazy, but his point in saying it was that all his suffering taught him something new, something about himself and made him grow as a person. On the other hand, being in this blind state of happiness was the complete opposite. Anyway, he goes on to say that high school is some of your best 'prime' suffering years. Though that sounds terribly depressing and/or cynical, it's really true. And at times, I feel like I'd do anything to fix certain situations or be able to take them back, but really I don't. Everything, especially in the last couple years, and everyone has taught me a lot about myself.
So, I'd just like to say... thanks to everyone who made 2006 what it was for me, good or bad.
