2018 Year in Review
Dec. 30th, 2018 10:43 amI've seen this making the rounds again and decided I should actually write something for it. :3
1. What did you do in 2018 that you'd never done before?
Visited the west coast! Saw the ocean. :3
2. Did you keep your New Year's' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t even remember what my resolutions were but I guarantee I didn’t keep them. I’ll not be making resolutions so much as I’ll be making goals for 2019.
( The rest under here )
40. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2018:
WHEW. Holy shit, I feel like this year was rife with lessons. Being my own advocate was a big one and one I’m still working on. Recognizing that no matter how hard I try, sometimes things don’t work out. Recognizing that I can’t rely on anyone else for happiness; other people can help -- and I’ve had some major help! -- but ultimately it’s got to come from the inside. Also I learned to not immediately vilifying myself when a situation goes sour. Self, sometimes you’re not the entire problem, hahaha. And of course the thing mentioned above, feeling my feelings but not weaponizing them.
The biggest thing tho, is I’ve learned that I can’t control what other people want (and rightly so, I should never try to control what other people want) but if our wants don’t mesh or get in each other's way and there’s no compromising, welp. It’s best to just walk away.
41. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I've loved and I've lost
But that's not what I see
So, look what I got
Look what you taught me
And for that, I say
Thank you, next
Honestly, Ariana Grande, bless you for this fuckin song. XD This absolutely goes for this entire year, a year of intense highs and lows, of love and loss, of adventure and stillness. It’s been a ride and I’ve learned and experienced so much.
Thank you, 2018. And next.
(goddamn I’m dramatic)
