2010 has come and gone, wow how time flies! Yesterday I was thinking about how crazy fast life really zooms by us. I mean I am 27… I feel like it was just yesterday that I was riding ponies in my custom cowgirl outfit at my 5th birthday party, sippin diet cokes and eating nasty hot dogs at Charger’s games… where did the last 22 years go?
One day we’re gonna blink and wake up at 95 wondering where the hell our life went. It made me realize life really doesn’t slow down for anyone, and tomorrow isn’t promised. All we can do is surround ourselves with positive, loving, caring people and try to make the most out of every second we’re given, so when we do reach 95, we can look back at an amazing life surrounded by amazing people.
2010 was full of amazing highs and not so amazing lows, but it was definitely the year of goodbyes. I had a lot of people in my life that I had to let go of, I realize not everyone cares about the same things I do, which inevitably will end friendships. It was hard learning how to let go, but in the end it was for the best. I opened up new doors, new experiences, new relationships, new friendships, and definitely learned that there are people out there who are selfless and actually give as much as they take.
Reflecting on 2010, I realize I also need to work on being more positive when life hands me a bad situation, so I too can be positive more often. I read a quote that I loved the other day. “Every situation is a chance to choose your heart or your ego.” That will be my main 2011 goal, trying to choose my heart over my ego more.
So, this NYE I don’t want to make any crazy resolutions like saying I will no longer eat nachos at 2am, because we all know I could never stop that… but in 2011 I do want to focus on continuing to better myself (after all if I am a solid, good person, that is what I will attract) and also to only surround myself with the people and things that keep me smiling. Love, friendship, family, dreams etc… that’s what life is all about, to me anyway.
I am also going to stop expecting people to be what I want them to be, and instead only keep around the people who already are the kind of people I want to be around. No more fixing/changing/saving people. Anyway… I hope everyone had an amazing New Years and drank at least a bit of champagne to celebrate! Happy 2011!
Thought the colors were bright and pretty enough to share. Happy Friday!
We had friends in town that wanted to go out for a bit after, I didn’t plan on anything wild, but somehow ended up hair whipping at Fluxx for Bob Sinclair. I’m not a big fan of his, not into the raver, lightstick music, but I did have a blast.
