Please bear with me as I look back to the year that was.

Last year is probably one of the happiest and the saddest year of my life.

Last year…

I learned the meaning of failure and standing back up to fight once more.

I learned that I’d rather do what I want and be happy rather than what I’m good at being miserable.I also learned that shaping and re-shaping your dreams according to our circumstance is not always the same as following it.

I learned that sometimes, no matter how hard it is, we have to learn to let go of the people we love so that they can move on to a much better place.

I learned that sometimes the only way to make a someone truly happy is to hurt him because even though he might not appreciate it for now someday the pain will be useful to him in finding his happiness.

I learned that in order to fully forgive, one needs to fully forget.

I learned that, when it comes to your dreams, in the face of failure you don’t just give up, you don’t just give in. In fact, you rise back up and out do yourself.

I learned that it is possible to party hard and work harder.

I learned that most mistakes can be corrected and should always be or if can’t be, damage control.

I learned to live life one step at a time, playing it as it lays.

I learned that when we lose something and realize its worth, we can either forget it all together or try to get it back. It’s one or the other.

I learned that some stories just do not end.

I learned that some friendships are for the keeps while others held at arms length.

I learned that the best way to start over is to put the past behind.
