Ah well so long, 2013.
Looking back, I have nothing but contentment having gone through the year. Being pampered then slapped, being accompanied then left out, being lullabied then screamed at. Things were alternating from good to better to bad to worse then good again. Nothing was boring in 2013. I feel like life has altered me into something... not flattering, but I do believe that I'm growing as a person. My hopeful thought at least.
Looking forward, I feel soothed by the fact that I think I'm now in a perpetual state of being just gratified. Ones are not always happy just because they have diamonds the size of their eye balls. Nor they always jovial for having an excellent career or having their loved ones around or having healthy kids or just as simple as able to walk, talk and see. It is easy to feel frustrated over failures or disappointed when you can't have things you want or incensed as you feel offended. It's too darn easy, I did those all the time but man, what a tiresome. At the end of the day, it occured to be it's way simpler to just get up, try again and smile.
Life is strands of tangled thread you just have to have patience and diligence to neatly pull it all off.
