I can live with anything. Life goes on and I'll be okay. The older I get, the quicker I can look back in retrospect and say, " I shouldn't have done that." Take for instance, my photoshop project that I was sick of dedicating my time and effort to, so I just did it to get it done. It looked awful. Its something I would have done in a heartbeat in high school because it didn't matter, but I feel like it does now. I know it wasn't my best and its been eating at me.
Another example, on Thursday, I broke a kindergartener's spirit. I was harder on her for not cleaning up because she was one of the few children not being a hellion all day and I was stressed out because nobody told me what to do with 15 first graders and so I got mad at her and she sin't like me the rest of the day. This has also been eating at me.
With all these new chapters opening and old ones closing, I looked back on the last 10 years of my life today during psychology and these are the highlights- some are more important and eventful than others.
2000- The year I was class president
2001- The year I learned to worry
2002- The year my sister got married
2003- The year of academic over-achievement
2004- The year I learned my faith requires action
2005- The year I became an aunt
2006- The year I learned I was a leader
2007- The year I had an awesome group of friends (or what seemed like it at the time)
2008- The year of learning not to be miserable
2009- The year I fell in love
2010- The year of learning about myself
