As 2013 comes to a close, here's my obligatory predictably "obligatory" post to wrap up the past year and look into 2014.
If I were to describe 2013 in a word i'd go with... long. It's been long and exhausting. But then again, it's already coming to a close in the blink of an eye. So time really is relative, isn't it?
Screw this nonsense. My emotions screw with my writing more than I'd like sometimes, so I'm just going to post the draft I wrote a few days ago, because going on a tirade really isn't how I would prefer to end this year.
Things i've learnt in2013 general:
-Adapt. take what you're given and deal with it. quit your whining. it doesn't help the situation and more often than not, you're getting on someone else's nerves (most of the time, it's mine.) make the best out of a situation and just deal with it.
-there's always room for growth and learning. no matter how good you are, there's always someone better out there that you can learn from.
-there's always the calm before the storm. things are looking good for you, right? well, shit's about to happen so enjoy it while it lasts. but live in the moment. cherish the metaphorical calm seas - don't waste your energy worrying about the bad things. they'll come knocking on your doors soon enough.
-but sometimes you get a double rainbow after the storm. your life sucks. everything is going wrong and you ask yourself "why bother?" why should you bother with life when it's adamant at screwing you over? here's why. as hard as it is to hold out, the bad does eventually end. or at least, it'll give you a temporary reprieve. and when you're over that hurdle, you know that you're a better or stronger person because of it. and if you're extremely blessed, you might even get double rainbows. and unicorns. and all that jazz.
-it's okay to need down time. sometimes we have so many connections with the rest of the world that we feel disconnected with ourselves. it's okay to want to stay in and just spend some quiet time by yourself. turn off all your devices and see what you can do. you'll surprise yourself sometimes. i know i have.
-sometimes you gotta know when to push yourself. it's okay to step out of your comfort zone. it's perfectly fine to force yourself to try new things. we shouldn't ever be too comfortable in our own skin. it makes us complacent and we no longer push to better ourselves.
So there you go. I'll see y'all on the other side!
