- I have realized that I do not need to have a TON of "really great friends". I am completely happy with the handful of EXCELLENT friends I have. This is something my parents have been telling me for years. Not to mention, it cuts down on me having to tell a story or ask for advice 10 or 20+ times.
- I have realized that of all my job hoping since I started working at age 15 has made me the employee I am today. You laugh, but seriously, I get my stuff done and (to me) get paid well for what I do - or don't do. I realize that come Jan 14, 2009 I will have been at Chevron for one year. It is quite an accomplishment that, at this point, I am not waking up in the morning trying to figure out the quickest way to break my arm so I don't have to go into work.
- I realize that every boy or relationship in general has come into my life for a reason - unfortunately, as life goes, sometimes it hurts... bad. Everything has been a learning experience though. And I can whole heartedly say I have no regrets about anything - the past two years especially.
- I have learned much needed patience with some important things... and am still working on others.
- I have had to suffer through experiences that my procrastination or fear has inhibited me from completing/starting. But now, I am stronger, wiser, and a tad bit richer because of it.
- I am extremely grateful for my parents - for helping me, because they're alive and healthy, and for making Thanksgiving and Christmas wonderful. I wish that things hadn't gone the way they did when I left Jason ... but all in all, I think it turned out pretty well. I feel much more open with them and love them very much.
Do all these realizations really make me more insightful? Or have I just had too much time on my hands the last two days at work. Hopefully a little of both. But all I know is that 2009 has GOT to be better than 2008.
