It's so weird to think about all the years that have come and gone. As 2012 comes to an end, I can't help but sit back and reflect on the year and all the things I've done with my life, leading up to this point.
All roads I've taken have eventually led me to where I am at this moment. There is not one thing I've done that I regret. I've made peace with many of my past demons, as well as asked for forgiveness from those I felt I've wronged. (Some of those instances, the wrongs were greater in my own mind. But that does come as a great relief. But that goes to show you the power of guilt.)
Recently, I've seen so many people bidding a happy good-riddance to 2012. For me, saying good-bye feels like I'm letting go of a good friend.
2012 was a strong year for me, if only because I carried strength in myself. I have cried many tears these past few months, but I've also grown so much closer with my family. Watching life play out is an amazing thing, even if some lives are shorter than others. Feeling the overwhelming sadness and love from the events that happened, just this month, humble me as a human being.
Wow, my purple ramblings remind me so much of my mother. *laughs* I should be embarrassed writing such soppy journal entries... but I'm not!
I guess that's what happens when you get old. I'm excited to see how many filters I lose by the time I'm 40! ...Which isn't too far off.
Oh dear lord.
