New Year, New Thoughts

I've been sick the last two day and it's given me time to think about everything that's been going on this year. And as the year is coming to an end soon, I wanted to write a couple of things I've realized this year.

I guess the major thing is that growing up is terrifying. But, it's also exciting. I've never been so conflicted about something before and I'm slowly beginning to realize just maybe this i a good thing and that not knowing everything is sort of the point and that I don't have to have life figured out at sixteen. And thats made me feel a little better.

Bad things happen in life and the way people respond to tragedy differs, but we should always be respectful. And that's hard for a lot of people to remember, especially adults.

Maybe being happy is a lot easier than what it seems.

Don't be afraid to take time to be alone for a while. Being lonely and being alone are two different things.

Best friends are hard to come by and there are few that stay. But the thing about the good ones are that they will stick by you no mater what. And I'm lucky to have a few of the good ones.

Being proud of yourself is definitely something that should happen more often.

Spending time with your family is important. At some point you might not be able to get together like you see to, so always take any opportunity to hang out with them and get to know them better. The thing about family is that they're never going to leave you and you've got  pretty great one.     

Don't overlook the small things. They're usually the things you remember the most as time goes on.

Don't worry about finding the right guy, when it's the right time God will put you two together.

These are just a few of the things I could think of off the top of my head and they're mainly for me to remember as I get older. They're bits of advice that I find important to my life and they're things that have shape me into the person I am. So, these are the things I've learned this year. What about you?
