2014 Reflections

Sorry I’ve been scarce friends, but it has been a long year, the longest I’ve ever had. I haven’t posted in months and my only excuse is I was too busy wading through all the muck this year has thrown as me… and MAMA I MADE IT! *electric shuffle*

The past year in retrospect

I’ve had a few tough months of debilitating sickness, some heart breaking disappointments and the realisation that trusting other people with your heart is a gamble, my advice is, don’t play! I’ve learned that no matter how much you want to, don’t compromise on who you are for other people,that my friends, is the recipe for disaster.

But it wasn’t all bad… I started a new school in a new town, I made some new friends, and have finally learned that the only person in the whole world that can make me truly happy is myself. Learning to be my very own best friend helped me get through some tough times. You best believe the only person you can fully depend on in this world is yourself, so when you make promises to yourself, don’t break them. It’s hard enough knowing that in life you will inevitably disappoint other people, don’t add yourself to the list.

So here’s to a new year and a chance to keep trying to be the person I’ve always imagined myself to be. Practice makes perfect.

“Seems everything around here stays like stone

Seems it’s about time darling, about time, we let this all go

Cause everything, must start again anew

Cause everything just goes away my friend

And every king, knows it to be true, that every kingdom

Must one day come to an end”

-Ben Howard

Just know that whatever difficulty you may be going through right now will pass. Nothing ever stays the same. Everything will end. The only constant is change.
