SarcazmOrgazm FM2 Junsie's blog: "K's Blog Blunders"

I'm sitting here pondering the past year and I do believe I've grown up alot. I definitely made some bad decisions and I had to live with those. But something good came out of those bad decisions as well, most of the time for the better. I realized that you can't make someone care for you in the same way you care for them, no matter how much you try. And you just have to realize that you should be thankful they are in your life period, even if it's not in the way you'd like them to be. And if they find someone else, you have to learn to live with it and be happy for them, even if it breaks your heart a little each day. I realized that it's ok to take a chance on someone, even if they do disappoint you and make you want to take that chance back. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and I'd rather it happen now than later. I realized that the people that you believe are your friends really are. You might have a falling out and say hateful things to each other, but it doesn't take away the fact that you still love them and you still want the best for them. And sometimes, it's best to just take some time away to give you a chance to realize how important they are to you and that if they are true friends, it'll right itself and you'll get that friendship back, maybe even stronger than it was before. I realized I don't have to have a title or status symbol to be liked. It's ok to be a normal regular person. If you're doing something to give you that "status" and you're unhappy doing it, then the price altogether is way too high. I realized that it's ok to stand up to people if you don't believe in what they are doing, even if it makes you the odd man out. Don't EVER do something you don't think is right or that you don't believe in it. It only makes you worse than the person that is encouraging you to do it. I realized that I'm a great person and I don't need someone in my life to remind me of this everyday. I'm not perfect. I make numerous mistakes all the time and I'll keep on making them. But my faults are what makes me what I am and people can either take me or leave me. I realize that no matter how much I want everyone to accept me, I have to accept myself first. And I do. I'm a great Mother and a great friend. I love my friends and I love my family. They are the most important part of my life. If I only had that, then I'd still be the "richest" person in the world. To all my friends here, I wish you only the best in 2009. Be positive and look forward. Don't look back and linger on regrets. It's not what you did yesterday, but what you'll do tomorrow that will make the difference. ♥
