It seems unbelievable that I've written 300 entries in this site. Upon reflection, maybe 10% of them are worth reading and reflecting upon. That is if I'm lucky.So what happened between these 300 entries? I fell in love, fell out of love, reconciled, then again fell out of love, had bitter exchange, fell in love again, and to complicate matters furthermore, fell in love with yet another while still being in the previous commitment. Confused yet? I've also grown professionally, and am about to make another transition.
So what are the lessons?
- Life is short. If something doesn't work, move on and find something that works. It's not really worth the time to complain about something not working and holding onto it.
- The L word ain't all that's cracked up to be. Love doesn't feed you or keep you safe at night. Back in 1999, I used to subscribe to another L word, Loyalty. I think I was right that time.
- Resistance is futile. Change is paramount. In order to survive, you have to keep changing and hopefully that change leads to growth. Change your appearance, your surroundings, your posse, your mind, your attitude. But once you stop changing (growing), that's it. the fat lady sings, and the other shoe drops.
- I have the capacity to put up with infinite amount of bullshit. But not the time or inclination
- I am a mere mortal. I make mistakes everyday. I forgive everyone else's, but need to find it in my heart to forgive myself more.
- I will never be the three things I wanted to be when I was growing up: a pilot, a writer, an astronaut. But as a three dimensional human being, I think I've become much much more than anything I imagined to be back then
And with these thoughts, I will close my 300th entry.
