I should have known that "12 days of Blyss" was never going to work, I am famous for underestimating how busy I actually am and thus found myself unable to post or stay ahead of my posting schedule so I could follow through on this mission of mine. However, the 12 days are now up and with the new year here I would like to share with you some lessons I learned last year.
- GO. Just leave you don't need to plan or explain.
- Keep in touch. The majority of my friends now are not just a quick drive away. They are scattered all over the country. We have to stay in touch and now its just done in hour long phone calls and random text messages.
- There is no shame in taking a step back. I had to move home this year to figure out what they hell I was doing. But remember to take two steps forward after your step back.
- When in doubt of anything watch an 80's movie. They are filled with witty remarks, grand gestures, and the greatest love stories and the best endings.
- Enjoy the little moments and invest in the things that make you smile.
- No one knows what they are doing, especially in their twenties. Anyone who tells you different is a liar.
- Allow people to leave you. They need to, you might not understand it but you must allow it.
- Keeping that last one in mind, edit your life ruthlessly. Get rid of anything, anyone, and everything that you no longer need. Do this often and without apology.
- Travel. As often as you can and as far as you can. See the world! Realize your place in it.
- Find yourself. It is going to hurt like hell, it is going to bring about a lot of changes but in the end it is the greatest thing you can do for yourself.

These are just a few of the many lessons life taught me this year. It was quite a year to say the least. So now to kick off this new year I have come up with some resolutions. First off I am going to learn a new language probably french because it sounds expensive. Next I am going to embrace uncertainty, I am a girl with a plan but this year maybe a few less. I also resolve to learn how to throw a punch, how to shot a gun, shotgun a beer, and play poker. A girl should be able to hang with boys, drink tea with the queen and roll with the girls. Lastly I am going to surprise myself everyday and maybe along the way do something truly incredible. This is my year and I hope it is yours as well.
