- I have learnt to accept change. I often still butt heads with it, but I leave the door open to it anyways.
- Human emotion is tricky. Sometimes we act irrationally - the heart is ready to forgive but the subconscious is a little more stubborn.
- Some people in this world are just... unreal - beyond amazing.
- The transition phase can be tough, but time will help you adapt to life as it is. You don't hurt less, you just have a higher tolerance for pain.
- I have learnt to love myself more.
- I have learnt to understand myself better, and I have lots more to learn.
- Patience is key.
- It's okay to miss home and be sad sometimes.
- I am addicted to chocolate (I always have, only that this time I've come out of denial.)
- Let go of expectations: of yourself, of others, of situations and outcomes. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.
- Everything doesn't have to be black-or-white. It's okay to land on the grey areas. Your perfectionist side might hate you, kick and scream, but this is the truth. Focus on progress.
- Don't eat the marshmallow. Grit through.
- It is okay to fail.
- No matter your negative mood, there is always time to sit and be. Life might seem like it sucks, but if you just sit and be, you'll see that it actually quite amazing.
Just keeping with tradition ;)

Hello again!
I do not understand this grey area thing. I mean, I'm trying to differentiate my feelings, in order to understand myself better, but sometimes I just feel so down. Perhaps it is because I am addicted to the presence of other people... Maybe I need calm. Maybe not... Hmm... "We go out of our way to be the people we are because at one point in time of our lives, we were treated that way before. We've been on the other side of the coin and we don't want other to feel that way." - paraphrasing Jenna.
Today is the 27th of December, 2 days after christmas. Christmas itself was funtastic. I spent Christmas eve with Ashly and her family, then Christmas day was spent with Jenna and her family. I have a few thoughts, and one of them has to do with the world being very big. Which means? Well, which means I am feeling pretty small right now. Holidays seem to be the worst for me but right now it has been not particularly bad, so that's good. I look forward to the future. :) See you there. |
