Hindsight IS 20/20, after all
yikes.
its amazing what happens in a year and a half. seriously.
After being reminded that I even had a blog at one point, I'm surprised to see this thing still exists. I would've guessed they have time restrictions for inactivity. I guess not.
It was really odd reading my previous posts after unconsciously abandoning that mentality that I carried around with me for so long. Now that so much has changed (environment, goals, perspective, priorities etc.), I can (sort of) omnisciently evaluate the girl I used to be. And 'yikes' pretty much sums it up...
First of all, I have come to learn that planning is a complete waste of time (that was a hard one to learn btw). Almost every long term plan I've ever come up with has faltered at some point. (I guess the real issue there is control, but that's a diff post entirely.) I've come to the conclusion that devoting so much energy to creating a plan that probably wont follow through in the end is unproductive and ultimately futile. Everyone has heard the saying, 'life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.' yeah. I guess so.
Second, I am completely shocked to read between the lines of my old posts and recognize the outrageous level of naiveté. You know, I'm a lot of things, but naive.. definitely not. Or so I'd like to continue to think. I can look back at certain situations now, in which I so obviously played the role of 'Stupid Girl', yet had no idea at the time. wow. I guess you live and you learn. thank cod.
More than anything though, I'm surprised to see how far I've come since that last post. Without even realizing it, I've improved almost every aspect of my life in the short time of only 17 months. That's pretty sweet. Moving across the country has proved to be far more beneficial for me than I ever would have thought. Now that my goals have shifted and my perspective has been tweaked- I feel like I have some genuine direction for once.
