Things I learned this past year...

It's now a couple of days past new year, and in that time I did a lot of reflecting on this past year.  Many things happened to me, both positive and negative, and I want to share with you what I learned from these experiences.

1) I learned that Love is difficult.  I didn't know how quickly you could fall in love, and just how quickly you could fall out of love.  Over this past year, a love I thought was forever disintegrated before my very eyes. It happened so quickly, I didn't even realize I was trying to hold onto smoke.

2) I learned that while Canada will always have a place in my heart, this town where I live, is not where I want to be.  I want to continue travelling the world while I'm still young, and while I love my family, travelling is my passion.  I want to explore and feel freedom in the utmost sense.

3) I learned that I still have no idea what I want to do with my future.  I know I want it to include travelling if possible, but other than that, I haven't the faintest idea.  I feel like that kid in school, when asked what they want to be, they say happy instead of a career.  Because that's all I can imagine for my future at this point.

4) I learned that from weakness comes strength.  I know what that means now.  I realized that while in my last relationship, I became weak.  I lost who I was, and became someone who wasn't me at all, all to please someone else.  I know that can't happen again.  It's true what that quote says.  If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.

What did you learn over this past year?  Did you have any epiphany's?  Let me know in the comments below!
