I go through these phases in my life about once a year. I look over what I've been doing and who I've been hanging out with. Then I decide what is productive and good. The rest I metaphorically cut out of my life. I don't plan this annual sweep, but it consistently happens. I guess it's kind of like spring cleaning. Sometimes I have to get rid of clutter and junk that has been building up and holding me back.
I feel this cutting coming soon. I've noticed I've become more observant, critical, cynical and open minded all at the same time. I've looked over what I've accomplished and the areas I've failed.
In the past year I got a dog, finished college, bought a condo, started my first full-time job, learned how to use social media to brand myself, a company and an alumni group, got a roommate, dated boys, broke up with boys, enjoyed hanging with my girls, encountered melodrama, and the list goes on.
What should I count as failures, and what should I count as necessary for growth? What may seem to be a negative thing on the surface, may have encouraged me to build character and confidence. Then on the other end, what may appear to be good and healthy, may be keeping me stuck in a stagnant place.
If you see me making changes and upgrades in the next few weeks, now you know why. I feel a changing coming on. I'm going to take it and run with it. Only God knows where I'll end up, and I'm okay with that.
