1. no more tv shows, no more wasting time. homework before play, not the other way around.
2. go read some books
3. stop holding onto things that give you those negative feelings. If its making you sad, decide if its worth it or lose it.
4. stop being so self obsessed, there are people out there in worse situations.
5. start using your gym membership properly
I've learnt so much this year. I've changed so much and I've experienced so much. All the emotions i have felt this year have made me appreciate the better ones and taught me how to deal with the worse ones. I learnt this year to treasure family, as these are the people who will always love you no matter what. I've learnt to treasure the moments in mine that show me that despite everything, we are still a family and we still love each other. Sure, they may get on my nerves all the time, but in the end, where would we be without their support? This year I've learnt that we are now growing up, and the things we thought we would never do as little kids, are exactly what we are doing now. What used to be just. plain. bad, is now overwhelmed with excuses as to why it is okay. I've learnt the type of person I am, what i will do and won't, and why i act this way. I've learnt that curiosity plays a enormous role in our actions. Curiosity of what it feels like, curiosity of experiencing something new and exciting. i realised this year, its not about doing it to be 'cool', but to experience the feelings and get the experience that comes with it. mistakes will be made, sometimes over and over again, but in the end YOLO. this year, i realised that as we become more acute to who we are, we are certain to drift from some people and get closer to others. is that really a bad thing? im still contemplating, but in the end, those friendships that were forged still exist, and even if we dont talk to them as much now, theres nothing stopping us from getting closer again in the future. When i look back at the past year, as hard as it was this year, i am grateful. There are some actions that I am not proud of, I've hurt some people badly and I've been hurt but in the end, we will grow from this and learn. second chances were given to me this year, a second chance to redo my actions, and even when i make the same mistakes, i've learnt that forgiving is the only way to move past it. that holding on to the anger and hurt, wont solve anything, and when you come to the crossroads, you need to decide, is it worth it to continue, or should you just give up? I've learnt that there is minimal point in lying, that it does not help anyone, so why bother? i cannot say, that i know who i am exactly, that i was able to discover myself this year, and maybe i will never, but thats okay, theres always next year.
Good bye 2012. Hello 2013. I wonder what adventures you will take me on this year :)
