~Just a Feeling~: January 2011

I know I'm a little late to about 2010 but, I feel like I have to... or maybe it's cause I want to :)

2010 was a year of many tears for me ... or ... I guess one would say a ~~"KRAY"~~ year ... I did say it was the worst year ever, however, writing this post made me realize that I focused too much on the bad moments of '10 that I didn't really focus on the good memories.

I made the year seem like one of the worst years but in reality it was also one of those years I could never forget. Even if I experienced a lot of pain such as ~~heartbreak, death, loss of friendships, unnecessary drama~~, etc. Those are the experiences that made me grow into a stronger and better person. No matter how many tears I shed, I still had fun with old friends, those ties were strengthened, met new people, made new friends, made new lasting friendships, broke out of my shell and tried new and crazy things but at the same time it was the year I started to mature.

There are some moments I would like to take back or wish that had never happened, but there will always be moments like those no matter where you are or when. Things happen for a reason right? I guess in a way I'm thankful that these things happened because it didn't change me for the worst it changed me for the better.

Three important lessons (out of many) learned in 2010:

1. drinking until you're about to die is NOT FUN for you or the people around you

2. when a friend comes to you in confidence with a secret, VALUE that friendship and don't take advantage of that secret and tell another person.

3. (this may be a naive way of thinking) don't judge people for what they do or who they surround themselves with because you may not know them and they might just be great people with big hearts

However, here's to a new and greater year!!! Hopefully there won't be as many ~~tears~~ shed this year ;)

FINALLY, here are some good moments from 2010...
