15 Things I Learned in 2010

Here are the top 15 things I learned about myself in 2010. Most of these were learned either through reflection or analyzing my own actions as they happened.

1. The head cocked to the side smile is fake. No ifs ands or buts about it if my head is tilted; I. Am. Humoring. You.

2. There isn’t a shy bone in this body when it comes to people I’m comfortable with.

3. I need to put myself first no matter what.

4. I’m very protective of those I care about the deepest. I will go to the ends of the earth and back for them no questions asked.

5. Breathing is key to getting what I want.

6. I can do anything I set my mind to. As long as I breathe I will survive it.

7. Where I’ve been is not where I’m going.

8. The people of my past are my past for a reason. And until I figure out every reason part of my mind will always linger there.

9. I over-analyze everything. Everything.

10. I absolutely hate being the center of attention but I excel at it when I have to.

11. Even if someone doesn’t understand it or agree with it. Something being important to me makes it important period.

12. I will always say what is on my mind. If that makes me a bitch then so be it.

13. I need to practice what I already know to be true more.

14. Some people are going to love me, some will hate me. As long as I am true to me it doesn’t matter.

15. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up.

A few weeks ago I posted on Twitter that someone’s song had changed (and that I was subsequently balling my eyes out). Well as is my usual style I won’t post the name of the person but I’ll give you a hint. I loved him for a really long time, but he’s not the one I married. Today that person’s song definitely fits so I will post the ‘new’ song.

Song of the Day – Jordin Sparks – Tattoo

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger, soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free
To admit that I’m wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind
I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing’s broken
No need to worry about everything I’ve done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you
