12 things in 12 months...

These are 12 things I learned every month!

1. The love of photography - I really fell in love with capturing the amazing views that the nature could bring out. I even opened up my own blog, where i posted them. It was something i enjoyed for a long while.

2. Oh, time to think about Universities - I drove to Riga (the capital of Latvia) to see bunch of schools as a chance for me to realize what I want to study as. I made up my mind as a English Philology in University of Latvia and I was going for that. I was. Not anymore. I also got to know the city alone for a little bit. The city I want to live in.

3. My friends are my rock - They have been there for me through everything. I can't thank them enough, i will never be able to. I love them <3

4. Writing feeling down really helps - I started writing my feeling down in April. It really helped to improve my writing, to clear my thoughts.

5. First time i fell in love - It is not so beautiful as it sounds. I fell in love with my ex and couldn't do anything about it. We haven't spoken since we broke up. It was tough - to fall for someone who hated everything you do and everything that you are.

6. Happiness is truly a blessing - I was happy for no reason, I really tried to be the sunshine. I made everyone laugh, I had not had a single fight that month. I was happy being on this planet and promised that the last half of the year will be worth it.

7. Living for yourself is the key - During this month I was depressed. I wasn't happy. I wanted to end things, end the pain, but i fought. I fought for happiness even though i was broken inside. I tried and i got out. I lived.

8. Sometimes holding on does more harm than letting go - I broke my friendship with my friend. I wanted to have a break. I was just getting better mentally and we fought a lot. It wasn't good for either of us. We grew a lot during that time and I actually would never change it.

9. Not being ready is okey - I had an opportunity to be with a really great guy, but I couldn't. I wasn't ready for anyone. I didn't want to fall that hard again just to hit the ground. I left that month to be for me. No one else, but me.

10. Kill them with kindness - I realized that there are so many two faced people on this earth that I didn't want to fight them. I wanted for them to see that I am happy, that their anger can never bring me down. It worked. I fought them and succeeded. Never drop down to their level, rise above them and be a human more than they are.

11. Making mistakes is a human thing - I learned that making mistakes is okey. It is okey to be wrong, to make a mistake. It doesn't define who you are in any way. It is okey. We make mistakes, we learn, that is the most important.

12. Taking risks pays off one way or another - I told the guy I like how I feel. It didn't pay off, but I was happy. I learned a lot of things during this time. I also signed up for this ''writers' things which will bring new exciting things in the New Year. I learned not be scared. I am a complete opposite since July. I have changed for the better.
