Now that 2008 is over, I think I’ve just had the best year of my life. I've taken up running, Capoeira, Tango, Salsa, lost weight, got fit, moved house, worked and became friends with some amazing people, learnt Agile, moved job, got a pay rise, learnt to meditate, become a vegetarian (I think I'll stick with it), attended a retreat, gave Buddhism some serious thought and became debt free.
I didn't plan any of this, it just sort of happened. This year I made no new years resolutions, I'm going to continue to be open minded, be fearful and do it anyway. Life is about change, I will continue to embrace it.
This last year has been one of personal growth. I have conquered fears, tried, seen and enjoyed many new things. It's been a year of self reflection, I've questioned who I am, asked what it means to be me, pushed myself and carefully thought about who I want to become.
This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning my break up with A, the girl that got away, I wish had done more to keep us together, I miss her. Even though we've been apart, no longer in each other's day to
day lives, I will always consider her a positive
influence. Our short time together has shown me a direction that I am both proud
and happy to continue on. Hope guides me, hope that in the next year, the
different paths that A. and I are now taking will lead us to what we are both
looking for, personal growth, acceptance, understanding, warmth, peace, love and
happiness.
