“Just because it’s a new year, it doesn’t mean you have to change yourself”
It’s a new year and it began with this emotion of feeling so down but you can’t seem to understand why.
I spent the last few months of 2011 alone in my room. (Not in a loner way.) It just so happened that I learned how to embrace my being alone. I finally valued my “me-time”. I guess it was just really about time to finally do that.
Because of my “me-time”, it left me questioning about myself and how/who I am. I vowed not to change my way of being generous to others and how I always make myself available to those who need a friend.
But I also learned that it was about time I STOPPED putting EVERYONE ahead of me ALL THE TIME. I decided that it was about time that I had to balance it. It’s been quite a struggle but I’m slowly having faith in myself.
And because of this, I also started thinking about how I tend to allow people to take advantage of me. Somehow, I convinced myself that it was okay when it really wasn’t. It took me a REALLY LONG time to finally realize it.
I guess I was in denial about all those bad habits but I’m slowly learning. I am happy and slightly content with the way I am now. We’re all a work in progress and this is one of my work in progress projects.
It’s about time I really value everything and everyone that I’m blessed with and treasure everything. Life is beautiful, we just have to look closely at the small details and not just the big ones.
“You can find the life is worthwhile if you just smile”
