Good post

[evile]

in hindsight, I was acutely aware of my mental state as 2010 flowed in 2011. I remembered the quiet desperation I was feeling - hoping for a happy resolution to an angst-ridden situation. I wanted to be positive, hoped that by stating I was feeling positive I would get what I wanted.

Instead, I carried that angst into the new year and allowed it to lead me by the nose throughout the subsequent months.

I'm not going to rehash it - that angst, the sadness, the guilt, the heartache.... Low expectations are the best way to manage pre-determined resentments.

I don't want to look back on the awful of 2011. There is nothing to be gained by reliving those moments in which I wallowed in unsatisfying self-pity. I've done enough wallowing there over the last 12 months. I'm feeling surprisingly good and strong, hopeful (no really!), and I have big plans for myself in 2012.


The rest of the post is just as awesome. Go read :)
