Back to the Carolinas: What did 2018 teach you?

The more you know the less you need to say.

my reflection face

2018 has brought me a lot of joy and tears. I have met some good souls and met a few people I wish I could unmeet. My faith has been my strength through all the bullshits and bad circumstances that I placed myself in but God has carried me through it all.

1. 2018 has taught me that I need to control my reaction to people, things and circumstances. Not everything deserve my reaction.
2. 2018 has taught me that I need to reach out to my close family members when I'm struggling mentally; especially, my sisters. My mental state was a little unbalance this year and my sisters could of helped me, if they knew.
3. 2018 has taught me that I have to have a plan B. It's okay to live in the moment but you have to think a head also.
4. 2018 has taught me that I am no longer 18 years old. If I eat unhealthy food, I will gain weight and it will take a lot of hard work and efforts to lose it.
5. 2018 has taught me that I need to be more independent.
6. 2018 has taught me that I don't need to open up to every one I meet. It doesn't matter whether we are in the same work, neighborhood, class, etc. We don't need to be best friends or friends at all.
7. 2018 has taught me that when a person, a thing, or a circumstances cause you more trouble, headaches, and dramas than their worth, LET IT GO! It's truly not worth.
8. 2018 has taught me that there are genuine pure souls out there.
9. 2018 has taught me that if I truly believe in myself, I can do anything.
10. 2018 has taught me that not every one I want in my life should be in my life.
11. 2018 has taught me to never hold anyone or anything in a pedestal. You will be disappointed.
12. 2018 has taught me that wounds do heal eventually.
13. 2018 has taught me that it's ok to let someone in. Although, every one will disappoint you, there will be a few worth fighting for.
14. 2018 has taught me that as long as I' m breathing, it's okay to live again.
