I'm switching that saying around a little bit. 2009 has been a rough year for almost anyone you cross, for me it hasn't been any different. I have faced more challenges, developed more questions about myself, and have had to answer the most difficult questions this year than ever before. It has been by far the hardest year yet, although I recall last year saying the same thing.
Is it possible that every year you grow up, it gets more challenging? ...Makes sense.
So, I'm going to grab the bull by the horns, not that I haven't always taken this approach but now I'm older and wiser than before.
Accomplishments this year?
You bet!
-I finished up my term as President of my sorority.
-I learned more about myself this year than ever before and also how to work with people that I don't necessarily agree with all of the time.
-I have learned patience.
-Learned to bartend.
-Started a blog and a twitter account.
-Applying to grad school.
-Had an internship, another will follow in the spring.
-Made it to 22.
Of course, now that I reflect on the year, it seems so much more simple. It seems like I can't write down what I've accomplished, I can't fathom the things I have gone through. It seems so trivial now. But I do still feel a little worn out from this past year. And in my heart I feel all of the obstacles I have overcome, all of the aspects of myself that have been refined, and all of the compassion I have gained for others.
2010 is a big year, graduation, maid of honor duties, grad school/real life shit, my super awesome trip I am planning, moving away, new opportunities, and total freedom from responsibility as an officer in my sorority ( I loved every minute of it, but you know you have done your job and finished your duties when you are at ease at the thought of someone else running the chapter )
I hope for change this year and I know it will come.
Happy New Year, my loves.
