You say goodbye (2012) and I say hello (2013)

Goodbye 2012 Hello 2013Happy Holidays!!

I can’t believe it’ll be a year January 1 since I started this blog! Thanks to everyone who has read and/or left comments I really do appreciate it :) .

I say this every year, but this year has truly flown by. It’s been a big year for our society, with a lot of hot-button issues like women’s rights and gun control being brought to the forefront. It’s been an even bigger year for me though. As you may have read in some of my previous posts, I struggled with who I wanted to be after graduating college, professionally and personally. Right now, at the age of 26, I can finally say I think I’ve made peace with my life and the direction it’s going in. I learned how to cut off people that weren’t adding anything to my life. I’ve learned how to speak up for myself and not let anyone walk all over me or take advantage. I’ve learned how to not to give a f*** about what people (especially ones I’m not cool with) think about me, which has been difficult because that requires a lot of confidence and a brashness that I was definitely not born with. I’ve learned how to not be afraid and take advantage of opportunity when it comes my way. I’ve learned how to indulge in the hobbies and interests I enjoy no matter what others think or have to say about it. I’ve learned how to realize quickly when it’s not going to work between me and a guy and I let go more easily now.

I’m not going to set any New Years’ resolutions this time around because by February they are already broken. I have a few personal goals, but my main one is to keep working on myself and become a better and more fulfilled person. And to blog more ;)

What have you learned this past year? What goals/resolutions do you have for 2013?
