Lessons from 2014, Dedications and Hello 2015!

Well, hello there! As we all know, 2014 went by just in the blink of an eye. At the beginning of the year, as I sat in class, I was thinking about how slowly 2014 was going to go by. Boy, I was definitely wrong! It was one heck of a bittersweet year, profuse in laughter, tears, rekindling old friendships and making new ones. 2014, you've been somewhat great and memorable, but honestly I hope that 2015 would be much better.

2014 has taught me a whole lot of new things.

• Nothing in life goes as planned. Always have a Plan B!

• Shit happens. That's just part of life. Suck it up.

• Shrug it off, plaster a fake smile, chins up and move on.

• If you're having a problem, think of it and see whether it'll matter in 2 weeks time. Will it? Most probably not.

• Crying is just absolutely pointless and won't solve anything but it's alright to break down once in awhile because you've been strong for far too long. 

• Problems are really easy to solve but we insist on making them difficult to solve.

• You can't please everyone. 

• Life is unfair and that's just the way it is. 

• Never ever lower your standards. Instead, make that person rise up to your standards.

• Always bid someone 'Goodbye'. You never know when's the last time you'll be able to see them.

• Be open minded about things.

• Don't wear your heart out on your sleeves. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my family and all my friends (you know who you are) for making 2014 one heck of a compelling and adventurous year! You guys stood by me, supported me, lent me a shoulder to cry on, and listened to my whining of people that constantly incensed and riled me. I couldn't possibly thank you you enough but thank you so so so so so so so so so much for everything. I love you guys! 

So, that's it for today's entry. I would like to thank you, (YEAH, YOU) for reading. Even if this is the first post  you've ever read on my blog or the second or whatever, I would like to thank you for spending time on my blog. Wishing all of you a Happy New Year and I hope you guys have an auspicious and great year ahead of you! It's been fun (not really) 2014, but it's time for you to go. Hello 2015!
