You're all probably wondering what the image above has to do with my question.  All things considered, it's a fair question.  I sat up finishing this little project today, and I started it three days ago.

As improbable as this might sound, the picture above does a good job representing the answer to my question.  This year was probably one of my strongest.  It started off very roughly.  As some of you know, I was physically assaulted in January, but the incident was completely my fault.  It shook me up however, and badly.  In fact, it resonated so deeply within me... that I took one of the longest, deepest, and hardest looks at my life ever.  I told myself I wanted change.  Although this has been a desire of mine in the past, I was finally spurred into making those changes a permanent reality.

This year I learned that my life is quite alright.
In fact, it's wonderful.
Better yet, I learned to appreciate myself.

That doily above.

I've been crocheting for 13-14 years now, but I've always relied on patterns to tell me what to do. I didn't have the confidence to stray, experiment, or design anything of my own.  I just knew if I tried.... the results would be ugly and unrecognizable.. something to be ashamed of and hide away.  I actually took quite a long break in my crocheting due to work obligations, but this year, I was determined to crochet something for my mom as a Christmas gift.  I perused the web for a suitable design and after stumbling upon a certain doily, I just knew I had to make it:



There was a problem, however.  I searched for the pattern for hours, but every path led to the same result: a $9 pdf file.  My husband had already told me that we only had about $30 for the month of January after all necessary living expenses, so I wasn't thrilled to spend a third of it on a pattern.

I took a deep breath, armed myself with my crochet hook, and went to work.

The pieces fell together. One by one, I watched the doily come to life.  I sat up and worked extra hard to finish it tonight, and when I stepped back to look at what I created, I was overwhelmed.  Sure, it might not be perfect... but dang.... does it look good!  I know this sounds a little silly, but this little project sums my year up so perfectly, that I was almost moved to tears.

-I- created this.  It's beautiful. 
And I'm proud of it.

I've generally had a hard time with self-value.  I was a follower and I relied on the instructions of those around me to get through every day decisions and actions.  I didn't have the confidence to stray, experiment, or decide anything on my own.  I just knew if I tried.... the results would be ugly and unrecognizable.. something to be ashamed of and to hide away.

But after the event in January, and after a lot of thought, five months later I took a deep breath, armed myself, and went to work.

I started off with a simple endeavor:  I got my hair cut and got highlights in it.  From there, I worked on improving my own value of self-worth by doing little things.  Buying something for myself here or there. Taking time to do the things I wanted to do.  Taking better care of my husband and my apartment.  Allowing myself to believe I had beauty both inside and outside.  Etc.

The pieces fell together. One by one, I watched myself come to life.  I sat up and worked extra hard, and when I stepped back to look at what I created, I was overwhelmed.  Sure, it might not be perfect... but dang.... does it look good! 

-I- worked on this.  My life is beautiful.
And I'm proud of it.

Thank you God, for blessing me with everything I have had, I currently have, and will ever have. Thank you for my possessions, my abilities, and my good fortunes.  Thank you for the people in my life, and the abilities to introspect, inspect and reflect.  Thank you for my beautiful life, my countless blessings, and the love you've bestowed on us all.

Vizzed, what did this year teach you?

Oh boy. I'm not a big poster like you are, Singelli, so my story might not come out as great, but.. I guess this is what this year taught me.

I've always been struggling with my problems. My family is always having a hard time with stress and money and all that, and I'm always having to fix problems that I stir up with my friends. It was getting pretty bad. My family was practically at each other's throats and my friends were spliting apart fast. And they still kinda are.

At one point I fell ill with pneumonia and that was when It changed a bit for me. I was suffering so much through it, and when it was finally over I was..happy. Not much had changed but I felt a little more grateful. It felt like that thing could have killed me, and thankfully, I was alive. I know I haven't done much for anyone, But I want to try to help my friends get back together again. And I want my family to be a little more connected.

And then December came around. I wanted to get something for my parents this time. When I finally told them my plan, they were so happy. They were actually proud of me, and i think they finally knew that I was grateful for what they provide me, even if I don't do well in showing it.

While my friend situation isn't going well so far, I do believe that if we all try a little harder we can get over whatever happens between us. I hope that does come true.

*emotion intensifies*

But basically, I think what this year taught me, even if I end up not following it, is to cherish what you have. Because one day, friends, or family, you just might not have them anymore.

Oh gee, um... Well, for starters, it tought me that there is maybe a few people who actually understand me

That decieving people is wrong no matter what (even though im still not sure about this )

I should probably include game development? I started maybe 7 months ago and now i know how to make games and stuff.


To appreciate what I have every day?

That life doesn't suck? I dunno.

All I can think of is that, it tought me that some people aren't really who they seem to be on the outside. Some might be warm-hearted, others might be the coldest snake in the galaxy.

I really don't know. But it has come to my attention that some things aren't exactly what they seem to be.

This year, huh?

This year has taught me multiple things, some of which, I had actually forgotten...

1. Death is always everywhere, and I'm reaching the age where more and more family will die. In this year alone 4 family members (mostly distant), my dog, and two of my mom's cats died. And while sad, there's no point feeling forlorn about it. This isn't really a "new" revelation, I have long since accepted death (I experienced a good amount of it in elementary school), but it's a good reminder that sooner, rather than later, I'm going to see a lot of people I really care about, die. I have two or three more relatives at death's door (2 cousins and my great grandmother who has defied death for what feels like forever), and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them pass before 2014 is out, and almost expect them to be dead this time next year.

2. Behind the greatest heartbreak arises new love. This year, my girlfriend of the past three years broke up with me. It was a mutual, amicable split, but for the longest time, I was absolutely miserable. I accepted my loss, and I was happy when my ex found happiness with other people. But it's still hard to completely move on when you have given 1/7th of your life to someone. Sometime later, I started dating a girl I met in 2013, who had far more in common with me, and is open to the same experiences I want to have for myself. All in all, even though in late January, I had my heart broken, it is presently stronger than ever, and I'm now living with purpose, rather than just going through the motions.

3. Sometimes, patience is the best remedy. Many times this year, I'd found myself wanting to do things, but being unable to for various reasons. I had opportunities to do less fun things that would have blown my budget, but I held fast to the things I actually wanted to do. And it paid off. I eventually got to do the things I wanted to. And I got to do them with someone I care a great deal about.

4. My family isn't broken, but we've still got things to work through. At times this year, I felt like my family was finally coming together and that we'd finally start acting like a family. Mom found a boyfriend who treated everyone right. My younger brother got engaged to a lovely woman, and they are getting married next year. My sister... well, she's still alive I guess. And I finally am no longer a lightning rod that has to fall back on the sword to keep the glue together. But even though we've all made individual progress as people, we still are just too different and lacking in understanding to be a true family.

My mother, bless her heart, is doing her best, and I know how heart breaking some of the things that have happened this year have been for her (long story short, my brother and sister are s***s, and did the worst thing possible at the worst possible time... they want to take her ex-husband's name, and their former stepfather's, because of what he did for them growing up -spoiler, it was nothing, he's a player-. They told her this on the week of Christmas).

I'm finally fitting into the niche myself, and have gone from black sheep who is emotionally abused by everyone to the black sheep who drinks alcohol during get togethers, and stays far away from any and all conflict.

My brother finally knows the meaning of respect, and doesn't treat me like s***. He might still have a poor opinion of me, but he keeps it to himself now.

My sister is the only one who hasn't improved in any way, shape or form, but whatever, there's always 2015... or 2020. Or 2050. If she ever gets better, it's an accomplishment.

All in all, we're still not all put together, but we're learning.

5. My (girl)friend is the most important person in my life. My friends are all important. This is especially true for my girlfriend, who has become the one and only person I lean on when it comes to very personal matters. I no longer keep things locked up, and finally have a person in my life that will listen and help as much as I'm willing to help them.

My other friends are in my life still, but I have more or less put them at arm's length, and while I keep them updated, I try to avoid telling them too much about my personal life, and focusing instead on the fun things.

6. In that vein, fun is the most important thing, end of discussion. This year has been tragic, miserable, no good, s***ty. It has had good moments, and even great moments, but largely, the entire year has been a reminder of my own mortality and the failings of both myself and the people around me. I have grown more pessimistic and jaded, but I don't think I'm wrong for feeling that way.

Despite that, I've learned that the best way to get through it, is to joke, laugh, and in general, just have a good time, no matter the situation. Some might call it hiding, or running from the problem. But they would be wrong. I'm confronting it, I'm just doing it at my own pace, to prevent myself from being overwhelmed and overstressed.

-----

In all, this year has made me a better person. I have found my center, and I rarely lash out anymore, or try to get on anyone's bad side. I avoid confrontation, and I have determined what values are important to me as a human being (that's for another day).

I've grown wiser (I would think) and more mature, and I'd say, given all that's happened to me and my family this year, that I've gotten as far this year as I really could have asked.

good the algebra this year, new scientific methods, and apparatus and we learned the wellness dance...
there are so many of them 8 subjects required.

What did this year teach me? Oh several things actually. Mostly from bad stuff but, you know, it doesn't surprise you at all when you see it's always the same old song you heard for ages. So where do I start? I don't really know actually. It won't matter after all, I'll say all the subjects so let's start with the most important AND fascinating part of my *insert cursing word* life: work.

You guys know how work is doing for me. Well, most of you actually. It's like having a probability of chances of hitting the jackpot at gambles. You know what I mean, don't you? Now, let's add another factor that I won't go into details. Ask me why at your own risk, you may or may not have an answer to your question. My job search became worse than usual, enough said.

The second part is: I know who my real friends, the people I can count on are. I knew some people changed at one point but I never thought they could become so dumb. Pardon my language, I don't target anyone. You don't know them, that's all I can tell you, and that's a good thing I guess. Problem is these people don't have the intelligence to be in your shoes just one second. And they have great studies compared to mines. I've had some kind of argument with one of my ex-girlfriend, the day of my birthday. I can tell it was one heck of a ride for sure.

Third part: Some people in my life are gone. My uncle, one of my aunts, my grandpa... tell you what? I think it's not over. Well, 2014 is not over yet so I'm expecting all kind of stuff. My dog's old and can barely stand up at the moment. I tried to contact my parents, away from home for the holidays, but he didn't answer my phone call. I left a message because I need to talk about that as soon as possible.

Fourth part: my recent nights are just horrible. I had to find many different excuses when I missed an appointment or I had a face so tired. I can't find the rest I want. I guess it's an omen that tells me it may be time to move to somewhere else once and for all. But where? Don't forget I have no steady job. If only I had one, I could at least get the hell out of here and start a new part of my life, better for sure and find the rest I want.

That's pretty much all I had to say. 2014 has been a redux of my past years with some differences. I can't wait to see how 2015 will be. It looks promising. Sorry, I was not in a good mood when I typed and posted that message. I'm actually not in a good mood. Each day, the flame within my body is consuming my soul. I wanna stop being too nice and answer "yes" at every opportunity that opens for me. It gave me and it's still giving troubles that makes my life a bit worse everytime.

It looks amazing, Sing. Mom's taken up a similar craft (not crocheting...I'm not sure what it's called)...and has even gotten Mickey to join in, too! I've taken up writing again, and finished my third short story the other day! I was so happy with how it turned out. Of course, I need to work on it more, refine it a bit, but I felt amazing once I finished it. I felt like I had accomplished something wonderful.

I'm still taking a class (that I probably should be working on right now), and it's going slowly (at the moment), but I enjoy it a lot. I love to learn, and this class has taught me a lot about how to do it. Mom's sick (AGAIN), but she's weathering it out pretty well (as usual). Sometimes I hear her talk about her problems, but rarely do I hear her complain, if ever. I've taken that for granted (and even denied it at times), and just fully realized it now.

We're all doing better as a family, and are working together better than ever. We all have our problems and weaknesses, but I feel that we've all been making a stronger effort lately to become a better family. We are far from the "perfect" family, but we're working towards it.

This year has taught me so much. I wouldn't give it up for anything. It has come with its share of regrets, but the lessons have exceeded those and made all those regrets seem but a trifle. "If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made white as snow." - Isaiah 1:18 I've come to trust God more, too, and know I wouldn't have made it through this year at all without Him. I love Him so much.

And I was glad to share it all with you guys! I wasn't here all the time, and literally went crazy at times, but I've grown and have become more mature, in part thanks to you guys. I'll keep up my sense of humor that I know you guys love so much, and I'll try to express how much I love you guys more often (OH NO! lol ).

See you guys in the new year!

Looking back... it seems like I stagnated this year. I did a few translation odd-jobs and sold some stuff online, but in the end I'm still in the same place I was a year ago. Which is the same as two years ago. Maybe life has nothing left to teach me.

This year has taught me so many things, I might not be able to recall them all.

-Being odd is OK.

For the past 2 years, I've been realizing more than ever before how strange I am compared to most people surrounding me. 2 years ago, I became so sick of it that I decided to change most things to get popular and not be recognized as odd anymore. Well, that was a huge flop, because I did all the wrong things, I made my life a lot harder, and I became even less popular. I even had suicidal thoughts for a while.

Last year, I met who is now my best friend, who inspired me to go back to how I was before and even improve upon it. I became more of a normal person in the process, but I was still considered pretty weird.

This year was when I started realizing that I would never be close to normal no matter what I did, and now that's fine with me. As long as I be myself and live for God, I'll be OK.

-I'll feel better doing something good for others than doing what I want to do.

Until very recently, I never really thought about giving my all for others. Most of the time, I thought I'd feel better doing what I wanted to do, but I learned the hard way that that isn't true. I feel really bad every time I do what I want instead of what others want me to do. (except my sister who needs literally every item taken away from her besides people and our house to behave herself)

-Girls are just as good as guys are.

It sounds like an opinion, but it isn't. I was barely interested in girls (besides when I was a little kid ) until I started regularly talking to one. Also, I had most of the time thought that guys are better than girls. Now I just need to convince one of my real life friends that it's not true XD

-I'm a very likable person.

As a result of me being more outgoing this year, I realized that the reason it didn't seem many people liked me was because I wasn't opening up enough. Now that I've opened up more, more people have talked to me and more people have shown that they like me.

-I have a lot of good options for careers in the future.

For quite a while, I was worrying about struggling to get a job in the future because it seemed I wasn't going to develop any job interests. This year, I discovered that I have a lot of job interests but wasn't trying hard enough to find them.

-I'm a very lucky person.

I have an amazing and weird family and a lot of friends, some of which understand a lot of what I have to endure and some of them are weird as well Most people accept me for who I am, I'm in good health, I'm spoiled rotten and most of all:

I have a God who loves me more than anyone else and He accepts me for who I am!!!

When I first saw this thread, I couldn't think of much. 2014 just didn't seem like that big a year in retrospect. I started the year as a second-semester high school senior (with senioritis), and I ended with the year by finishing my first (and most-likely my easiest) semester of college.

And then I thought some more about it.

Note - I'm not going to get into that much depth, or I might start rehashing many of the same things that I'll be posting in my 1 year thread tonight.

Unlike the beginning of the year I now:

1. Live on my own
Okay, so I do have a roommate - I'm not completely alone. But still, I've lived almost half this year independently. It never struck me as anything substantial until now. It really is a big change in my life. It's something I've never done before in the 18 years of my existence. And speaking of 18...

2. I'm an adult
I'm physically 18, which is the age at which a lot of things in life opened up for me. I had to learn that things are different now, and I've been pretty successful (in my opinion) in doing that. I've decided what health choices I want to make, and I haven't deviated.

Those are the two main things I can think of at the moment.

But I also know that 2014 embodied the entirety of my time here on Vizzed. I've learned a lot here. I'll summarize.

1. Online friends can be great friends
I've had some really good friends on Vizzed, but I've had 1 great friendship on here. I never thought that it was possible to make a "great" friend online. This is one instance in which Vizzed has helped me keep an open mind, and it made me change my views on the value of online relationship (in that they can matter significantly).

2. Relaxation/Fun is necessary
I've had a lot of fun on here, but I've been teaching myself to relax a bit more. Otherwise I kept having sporadic burn-outs. I used spend ridiculous amounts of time on here with little done because of that.

I've also learned that only having fun while your procrastinating is self-torture. It's better to just get work done first. I'm not entirely proficient at this just yet, but it's a pretty big insight, since it's fundamentally different from what I was living like for years.

2014 has been a great year, and I'm ready to tackle 2015.

That doily is beautiful. You SHOULD be proud of it!

Ok, so. Things this year has taught me.

1) Take care of myself better. Ending up in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack kind of made me realize that I wasn't taking the best care of myself. Stress, smoking and just life in general had gotten away from me, and I had let a lot of things slide, health-wise. I'm not a kid anymore; I don't heal up the way I used to and I need to start paying more attention to what my body is telling me. 

1A) Oatmeal is delicious. That's a lie, but I have to keep trying to tell myself that because...it's good for me.

2) Appreciate the people you have, because they won't always be there. I lost my wonderful grandfather this year. We knew it was coming (he was 93) but it was still a horrible jolt when he died. I think about the things I didn't do all the time now-things I always meant to ask him but didn't get around to. Things I meant to do with him but never made the time. All the times I blew him off or was too 'busy' to spend time with him. I hope he realizes how much I loved him and appreciated him and I miss him so bad. I would give a lot to be able to go back and just hang out with him for an afternoon again. He was a major influence in my life and helped me to become the person I am today. I know he was proud of me, because he made sure to tell me. I hope I told him enough how proud I was of him too.

3) That being said, sometimes it's better to just step away. Certain members of my extended family and I have always had a tumultuous relationship, but hey. Family. Y'know, stick together no matter what, to the bitter end, no matter the cost. Right? Well, I finally figured out that sometimes the answer to that question is No. Just no. To loose a family member hurts, yes, but to loose all the drama, unhappiness, bitterness, disappointment and heartache that came along with it....that is good.  

Overall this hasn't been a very good year. We're all looking forward to the New Year. Hopefully we can start off on a good foot and make the next year a bit better.

Oh, and 4) Keep posting at Vizzed!  I missed you guys! I don't know why I wandered off but I'm not leaving again. Darn it. 

Too many things for me to remember, I've learned how to remember more than just the bad. Too keep smiling even if things aren't going my way nor how bad the situation may be. I've even leaned how to smile and various facial expressions, beforehand I would just constantly be walking around with a poker-face( You gotta take the good, with the bad ).

I'm a freshman in High School, and it's a lot different than previous schooling (In a good way). I've learned how to procrastinate successfully, while still upholding my average A-B grade. How to be a cruel person indirectly to others, while still getting the satisfaction of messing with them. Most importantly, I've learned how to be completely independent of others, and to never interact with anyone. Joking aside, I can do the opposite as well. (Oh! I've also learned how to play the guitar, and how to speak basic French.)

I learned that I was self-aware of the omnipotent marshmallow deity residing in the inner most cosmos my opinion of the world, life, and perspective. As in, I know that I'm more grateful to complete strangers than the people I actually know. Thinking about this makes me want to go to Starbucks and pay for the customer behind me's purchase. Too bad I'm not in the position to make time out of my day to go to a Starbucks and purchase something, just so I can purchase the other persons purchase as well.

Top three important this out of all other things I learned in the year twenty fourteen:

1. I'm awesome, no matter what anyone else says ever. Respond to insults with hugging and squeezing them.
2. Everyone has their own opinion, and I don't need to waste my effort trying to converts every opinion into my own, only to no effect.
3. Baked goods triumph over all other food, as does Mountain Dew over other soda.

thudricdholee : Oatmeal is delicious... With cinnamon, sugar, and a dab of honey. (Not a small dab either, I mean you really get in there and scoop out that honey)
Singelli : Thank you again, for both the layout and the cards.
Itachi_4_ever : Everything. Just everything.

This year I learned life is a cruel misstress a stone cold iron baseball bat to the head,but we put up with it and I also learned that vizzed is awesome , I learned other things but I'm tired and its 3 in the morning.

This year I learned how to draw better I guess

Singelli : Ok so here goes, this year taught me that women will leave you for not working and eating peanut butter and bologna samidge's for life. also this year taught me that hot dogs dont go in sub woofers no matter how good that bass feel, and last but not least , it is never ok to fistfight your friends pet monkey no matter how doctor her dad is, or how much more intoxicated you are then the african americans at the party

What has this year taught me ? Hmm well I'll give it a go but not too sure what'll come up at the moment :
1. It's taught me that my family ( on my wifes' side ) is getting bigger fast and it's also taught me this family needs a kick in the butt to get things straightened out quite often. 

2. I'm not too sure it taught me how to but it certainly has been a year for heart healing for me because of all the family ( on my side ) that I have lost.

3. It's taught me to have more patience ... especially at my job. I work in-home health care and the clients I take care of have been unusually rowdy this year. 

4. It's also taught me that Facebook is the most annoying thing I have tried online in a long time. Glad I got rid of it. Phew!

5. It has also taught me that it's never too late to finish anything creative you have started and that you're never too old to learn something new. 

6. Last but not least it has also taught me that there are still plenty of great games and anime out there that I have never seen and need to play and watch. 

This year taught me that money does not matter, so long as I put effort into what I am doing I will survive even without a big pay check.



I learned that even people you have known all your life might not be who you think they are. My sister got divorced and disowned her kids to chase another guy.

I learned that taking time to help people or to talk to a stranger is always worth it.

Don't be afraid to share your problems with a total stranger if they are willing to listen. Their point of view just might hold the answer to your problem, and if not you probably won't see them again so it doesn't matter if they judge you like you worry your friends and coworkers might.

Singelli :  

Well it feels good to be in a better position as this year begins as compared to this time last year.  Things are going in a good direction and I am very grateful and appreciative for that.  I guess the one obvious thing I learned last year is I need to learn how to pace myself a little better. 

 

In regard to my vocation I have spent the last two years doing my own thing and focusing mostly on that.  As I increased the volume of my work last year as compared to the previous year, I found myself dealing with the effects of burn out. Although I am pleased with what I was able to accomplish last year in that I exceeded what I was able to do the previous year, and even though I definitely want to maintain and try to exceed what I accomplished last year, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is I need to take a step back from time to time and allow myself adequate time to rest.  Though I will be the first to admit that it’s a task that’s easier said than done. 

 

As is typical for me during the Christmas/New Year’s holidays, I took most of the holidays off and it’s basically the only time of year that I commit to taking time off.  The problem is this time I was more tired than usual and spent most of my time resting.  I’m hoping that this year I will be able to get some downtime before the Christmas/New Year’s holidays.  Other than that I’m looking forward to what 2015 will have in store and look forward to getting back into my regular routine.

 

Happy New Year to everyone in the Vizzed community.  

What did 2014 teach me is that 2014 completely sucked, well, not really. Mostly the biggest thing that has been teaching me is all the responsibilities I have  to encounter wit, especially with a job I have to work for, mostly in order to get the money I need to get my by with my life.

Plus also, not just my job I have, but also all of the things I have learned in real life as well such as my drawings and what not, and with my return to Pokemon, my artwork skills has jumped up to a much higher level that I do happen to need, which is a must for my art. But other than those two things, 2014 didn't really teach me much of anything, so basically it's like every other year in my whole life.

This past year has taught me more than I would care to admit. I lost a lot of friends, one way or another. But the upside is I also met a lot of new people. The great people I choose let stay in my life have impacted me in ways I can barely fathom at this point in time. I have also learned that my life has actual real meaning. I have made many mistakes this past year. I know my life is not as bad as others in the world. I am thankful to have a roof over my head and food to keep me going. It might not be the best, but it is still better than a lot of the world has and for this I am also thankful.
For the past few years, I have been dealing with depression which I have decided no more. I am not putting my body and mind through that torment this year. I pray to God for the strength I need to over come this inability to see things for what they are. The negative thoughts are but a poison in my mind.
As long as i can remember I have been over weight. This past year has made me realize that "fluffy" isn't working for me. For too long I have been a lazy do nothing and I would simply make excuses for it. This past year has made me realize, I do not want to be that person anymore and I have been striving to better myself for this reason. In the past month I have been eating better, walking more, and doing little exercises from time to time. In the past month since I have started this I have lost 20 pounds. I am that much closer to my target weight of 200 pounds.
With my down time I have been meaning to work more on my writing, though like everything else, I have been making excuses on why I don't do it. I can not let this hold me back anymore. This year I will get my new book out and I will have pride in my work. I will do what I have to do to get my life right with myself, and the lord.
I have never really been the church kind of person. Maybe out of laziness mixed with fear of my image towards others. I don't really know if there even really is a reason. But I know I am do for a real change in my life.
What has this past year taught me? It has taught me that I do not like myself. It has taught me that I am not happy with myself. It has taught me that I want to change myself. I will be a better me, for me, and no one but me. After all, it is I whom always has to live with me. I look in the mirror, and I want to be proud of what I see. So I will work on my self esteem. I will work on my weight. I will work on my relationship with the lord. I will work on me. 
This is the year of me. Look out 2015, it is a new me. The me I want to be. The me I deserve to be. I do not care if others like me, or dislike me anymore. I will not judge them for their mistakes. I will simply better myself.
