“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

2015 was the best and worse year yet to come. It seems like it was just a few months ago that I was bringing in the new year with my favorite people and at the time the new year looked promising but little did I know in a few short months things would start shifting in different directions. This year I figured out that I wanted to teach Culinary Arts and that maybe Southwestern wasn't the place I was meant to be. I learned people will believe anything they hear/read - have you seen some of the politcal stories floating around? I figured out that I truly have a passion for baking. I figured out that I'd rather give my everything than to get anything in return. 1. Even when people aren't nice to you, being nice to them is the best thing you can do. 2. Forgive and don't hate. Hating does no good. 3. The best thing you can do is pray. 4. It's the little moments that count. 5. Smiling can accomplish a lot. 6. Sometimes you can't tell people what to do. 7. It's never too late to fix a mistake or mistakes. 8. Treat yourself, because sometimes it's just what you need. 9. Positivity goes further than you think. Without being positive, I'm not sure how I would have made it through the last few months. 10. Seasons change and so do people and that's okay. 11. People will say any and everything to make themselves feel better. 12. The most toxic things sometimes are not things but people. Though some people will read this and think one thing, I can assure you it's not what you're thinking. 13. Don't let irrelevant people control your happiness. If you love something go after it. 14. I laugh so I don't cry. My bffl explained this to me. I find myself looking back on this year and I laugh and I laugh so I don't have to cry again and again. 15. Some people are worth melting for. No matter how much stress one person can give you, sometimes they are worth it all. 16. It's okay to be lonely. I found a letter that I thought I had lost and when I read it I cried. I learned in that moment that it was okay to be lonely and just take a moment and cry. 17. Everything happens for a reason. This next one is more something to remember in the new year. 18. God has a plan and you have to trust it.
This year I have come to expect the unexpected because everytime I thought I understood things, the opposite would happen next. I wouldn't change this year because I grew as a person and I learned a lot. I only hope that things can get better from this point. I'm hopeful and optimistc about the next year. XOXO, A Gearle
