I have been pondering this post for quite a while. For many reasons. One of which I want it to be different than last year (Summing it up through songs) but I also didn't want to be too personal with it.
Now, I think I've got the best idea for how to end this. I call it my 2014 mantra. Here it goes.
I've learned not everyone can be trusted, that not everyone will love you back, and maybe they might not even like you. I've learned you can survive a broken heart even when the pieces never fit together again. I've learned many will use, abuse, and hurt you. Some will step on you to get ahead. Not everyone you love will help you to be better, and family isn't the only support. I've learned standing up after you've fallen is more important than the fall itself.
But mostly I've learned that through everything there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are people who will help you. Others will love you! And some will change the course of your life for the better. There will be people who make the difference, those who remind you to continue on. And will help you find your heart. Hardships don't last, the pain will numb, and every single dark night when you feel alone, remember: the sun will rise.
Well that's it! At the end of this year, I can't say I'm sad to see it leave, it was a hard year that made me learn lessons I didn't want to, lose people I shouldn't have had to, and grow in ways I couldn't have predicted. 2014, I know you're what I needed, just sometimes not what I wanted. Here's to a new start, a fresh heart, and leaving 2014 where it belongs. The past.
Now the challgene: write your own 2014 mantra! Tell me what you learned and lived through. Share pictures, remember the happiness, look at the hurdles you jumped, and how far you've come. Then wish it all goodbye, as tomorrow is 2015!!!
A New Years wish from myself at the beach!
Loves,
Shay!
