So it's the end of the year.. when did this happen? Pretty sure I JUST drove home from Guelph and got ready to go to Oshawa 2 months ago, not a year ago.
Went by entirely too fast, and thank god it did. 2010 just wasn't my year.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Cuba. There are some amazing memories from this year that I will actually never forget. There are friendships and so many lessons taken that I can't help but be grateful for it.
I still hate it though. Could have done without it. I hate when you have moments like this, when you know you needed to go through some thing so incredibly difficult that it even tested the faith you had in yourself in order for you to become a better, stronger person.
Lessons like that shouldn't all be bunched together to continuously smack you in the face right after another. I may be being a little crazy, but I think that's just rude.
I guess I did learn a lot though.
- No matter what I will always have my other half, or my sisters. My god the amount that these 3 have helped me through this year, I actually owe them my life. Too much unconditional love. I swear, if anything ever happened to any of you I would actually lose a whole pillar within my foundation, and I'm pretty positive that it would never be stable again. Through hospital visits, stupid boys, and insane soap-opera seeming moments you've all helped me continue to keep looking at the glass half full, and no matter what life doesn't slow down for you so you shouldn't expect it to.
"The moral to the story is, life’s treatin’ you like dry sod? Kick it back in its face"
- I may not be capable of eating full course meals (although I may want them because they seem so insanely yummy) however I am capable of doing anything and everything that I set my mind to.
- I am a human being. I deserve respect. I realized that I was in a really unhealthy relationship, and then I bounced back into it. It took me quite some time but it seems that this year was full of back to back lessons of learning self-respect, and how to weed out those that don't respect me.
There is so many things I want to say and I can't write right now. I just know that I'm happy 2010 is ending. I think I've put up with a full year of having to get over things, learning to adapt, and fighting to maintain my morals.
I'm going into 2011 with a new perspective, a full team of support, and if nothing else; the ability to smile.
And I'll just keep smiling, because it will all eventually be okay and there is a reason why I'm going through this; because I can. I'm strong enough to do it, and if it tests me, good for it. I'll keep up with my perfectionist way and continue to do the right thing for me.
Come on 2011, show me what you got.
But please, if you're going to be as hard as 2010 don't do it with the same situations.
Athena baby, you're one of the brightest lights in this dark year <3
I'm so excited to be your god mother, and so feel so grateful that I'm young enough to watch you grow while I still grow. I'll try to teach you all the things I know without the heart ache, headaches, and emotionally draining effects. My god-parents weren't involved in my life, and I just want you to know that no matter what you can count on me. You're not blood, but you're family.
