I’ve been screaming this all over Twitter for the last few weeks of 2011 because I have come to realize that 2011 was a long year for me. It brought a lot of change in my life (and I’m not exaggerating, I mean a lot), so I guess it’s safe to say that I was emotionally abused by the long chain of life-changing events that took place this year.
2011 taught me a lot of things. For one thing, I always thought that the inability of letting some things go was a terrible flaw but this year taught me that there are still some perks in holding on a little longer. On the other hand, I still learned to let some things go because holding on was doing more good than harm. I’ve come to realize that there was no point in holding on to things when you realize that the holding on is more painful than letting go. You get hurt either way, but it’s a matter of knowing what you deserve.
Ultimately, 2011 taught me to be impulsive. Being a girl who prefers to play it safe and likes to have everything planned out, the biggest change for me in 2011 was finally allowing myself to just go with my gut and let go of the what-if’s that were constantly holding me back. And I guess it’s fine to a certain extent, because I can say that I don’t regret any of the spontaneous decisions I’ve made in the past year.
Basically, I am happy. After all, that is what most of us want: happiness. I’m happy that 2011 really allowed me to grow, I’m happy that 2011 is over and I’m happy for the fresh start that 2012 has to offer.
This is kinda late, but whatever. Happy new year guys!
