Growing Pains
When I think about it, there are so many things I have learnt about life, in the past year. Even though it doesn't seem that way, I actually did. Here are some of the things, I've learnt about myself.
1. I learned that although I am naturally emotional and sentimental, I don't have to drown in my in my feelings all the time.
2. I learned that if you want something really badly, all the universe will conspire for you to get it, but it may not come in the exact form you wanted it to, so your job is to recognize it.
3. I learned that you can be logical without losing your heart, and emotional without losing your head.
4. I learned that crying really does make you feel better but there comes a time when you have to let smiling do the job.
5. I learned that your real friends may not always be physically there, they may be too busy to chit chat with you, too tired to just hang out but they will never cease to amaze you by being there at the most important times, saying all the right things.
6.I learned that I am able to touch people's lives in ways I don't mean to or even understand, but I am thankful that I have that gift. Im really iffy about this one, I'd like to think that I do though.
7. I learned that everything that is meant to be will eventually be. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I have always believed this. Sometimes it comes to you in an instant, sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes years, some times you have even forgotten about it and it all of a sudden comes your way. Patience really is a virtue.
8. I learned that letting go is the most painful process that people go through, but it is also the most enriching. It tests your limits, it tries to knock down your strength and it tries to tell you you aren't worth anything. But, when you've won the battle, you realize you are stronger, wiser and closer to becoming "whole".
9. In the past years I have learned how to love (not to mention all the heartbreaks), I learned how to do it right. This is the best lesson, by far. Because of this, I learned how to love myself too.
10. I learned that every single day I wake up is a chance to grow into the person I aspire to be and change what needs to be changed. If I fail today, there is always tomorrow. If I fail tomorrow, there is the next day. There is no "time limit" for growth.
