2010 Reflection - The Year of Enlightenment

Hey there readers! I hope 2011 is being as good to you as it is to me :] I have recently had time to reflect on the year of 2010 and decided to share some of my findings with you. This is a journal entry I wrote last night..I hope you enjoy it. You may notice the difference in my day-to-day journaling as opposed to my online blogging style..but we'll see ;]

2010 was an extraordinarily significant year in my life. I turned 19, finished my first year of college, and had the best summer of my life thus far. I got another tattoo and began a new journey in the world of modeling. I worked as a business promotions worker for the Otter Valley Chamber of Commerce, attended Wakestock, and accomplished a 'Summer Bucket List' to ensure my summer would not go to waste. I also realized a variety of things, including:

1.When your unconscious manages to poke through to your conscious for even the slightest moment, you should pay attention to it.

2. I'm scared of commitment after seeing the majority of relationships around me fall apart.

3. It's important to live and do things for yourself.

4. People you think are your friends, may not be.

5. A person's interest in you will never compete with his/her interest in a hoe's open legs.

6. Trust is earned, not deserved.

7. Blood is thicker than water.

8. People need to make their own mistakes and learn for themselves - even if it means getting hurt.

9. You will never know what you are good at unless you try.

10. You will never accomplish anything if you believe from the start that you can't.

11. It is just as important to be inspired as it is to inspire others.

2010 was a year of firsts and lasts. People I won't ever see again, and people I could never forget. Things I have never experienced, words I had never said, and thoughts I had never thought. I developed a renewed passion and interest in life, change, and the future.

2010 was a year of bettering myself through personal growth, trials and tribulations, and confrontation. I believe 2010 was my most honest year. I discovered who I am and what I want to become over the next few years. I discovered a variety of truths and flaws within my relationships and realized that the relationship I have with myself is the one I need to focus more on.

I laughed hard, cried hard, admitted confessions, experienced life and loss.

2010 was the year of personal discovery and enlightenment, and I don't regret a moment of those 365 days.
