Being positive instead of negative, being grateful makes a hugeee difference in day to day living:)

I learned that failing is not a big deal. Everybody takes a fall, once in a while. It only is a matter of time, before you can pick yourself again and be on the same track. Yes, initially it can be tough to look forward, but eventually I can get strong.

Strong Enough to keep Moving Forward. <3

I learnt that I am strong, I have come out of things that I didn't think I could, I may not be as strong as some but it's good enough for me. I learnt that I am not alone no matter how dark times seem. Lastly I learnt that there is no else out there like me and that makes me laugh! I still have a-lot to learn but I'm closer to learning them then I was yesterday!!

I learnt about myself this year that is possible for me to change and better myself, and change does not necessarily come overnight. It takes little small changes every day to make a big impact. I also learned that my problems are not really big compared to everyone's else, which causes me to be more grateful for what I have and complain less this year.

I've learned that you can't count on anyone but yourself. It just sucks when your worse than the others.

TW: self-harm

In 2015 I've learned that:

● asking for help can solve the problems, including self-harm urges. I don't have to face my fights alone, there are people beside me who care about my wellbeing (even if sometimes it's hard to comprehend);

● having mental illness is a life-long quest and I should never dismiss the warning signals;

● honesty is far more better policy for my mental health than pretending. Because no matter what I chose, there is no way to save my closed ones from suffering - but I can save my own integrity;

● diagnosis doesn't have to cause pain when I educate myself on the topic;

● I'm capable of successful work in the chosen field, along with academic success;

● loving truly and strongly means to love without hope. Sometimes I just had to let someone go;

● vulnerability is a super power and I'm not ashamed to start to be more gentle with myself and the world around me.

I learned that I can still fix my relationship with my father, I'm not alone, I have amazing friends you care for me and love me, I'm insanely lucky to have everything and everyone that I do, and that when my bike and a car decide to deck it out, the car will win XD (For anyone wondering, I was on my feet within four hours or so, so I'm doing alright)

I learned what defines me.

It's not my personality or my appearance.

It's how I treat people, how I judge others, how I look at them and what I see.

It's the things that I do, the things that I make and the use of it to other people.

It's the way I look at everything... Positive, negative. Realistic, idealistic.

It's the feeling I give to people.

It's the importance and convenience of my existence to others

In 2015, I learnt to accept that I am not talented.

It seems a funny thing to be proud of saying, and it was terribly hard to accept at first because its what Ive heard all my life! The problem was that I would equate talent with worth - and when something didnt hold up, I would question myself as a human being rather than the specific skills I was applying. Since the day a year ago when I completely broke down, but got up the next morning deciding I needed to keep walking through, its taken a lot of support and encouragement to work through this way of thinking. A lot of it is very much still work in progress, but its relieving to know that when something doesnt work, its just a question of how to fix it, and that I have a learned skill set that I can tweak rather than something permanent that dictates my future!
