bu. Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 What has been a PERSONAL highlight for you? I'd love to hear about some positive things you've all experienced this year Is there anything you would chop aka erase if you could? If you've had a bad year I truly hope 2015 brings better things for you. Feel free to vent in here x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaria Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Highlight.... Falling in love and having my first relationship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyHood Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It's been a shitty year for me over all. A highlight for me is all the travelling I did this year. I found my favorite city in Kyoto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboy06 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 With all the drama with my job, I suppose I'm grateful that I still have one. I did move and it feels like "home" because I got all my stuff I needed. My next step is to get a HOUSE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Got a promotion within my job (which is difficult enough) after years of struggling, years of giving up on becoming better, I have succeeded and 2014 is just the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.C Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ive done nothing really this year. Had a boring gap year, failed to get work due to living in a small rural area. Highlight was probably Soundwave festival 2015 will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 A crushing heartbreak towards the start of the year caused me several sadness spells throughout the year. I did hit my personal milestone of making it to 20 with my sanity intact and a ton of wisdom with it, though, which means a lot to me. There was a long period of time that I questioned whether or not I would get here. 2014 wasn't exactly the year I hoped for, but it gave me a lot of time to myself for which I can be grateful. I've been able to reflect a lot on my growth and be happy with who I am. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarrylf Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Well it's like I told Bu a lil while ago, I must be doing good when the only thing I can complain about in my life is the lack of current Janet, or (for most of the year) good music, 2014 only sucked musically for me, and I thought it wouldn't, I SO thought it wouldn't but oh well, it's no biggie. 24 has been a really great age, Im having more of a understanding of life & people and habbits, I'm learning to be more direct and upfront about what I want and who I want to be, and that in itself is a great gift. On the career front Im looking down a path that's potentially bigger, brighter, and more successful than I ever thought I'd get to this early, and I love the support I have, I was fighting for most of the last 3 years to not need anyones help, tho I was never afraid to ask when I needed it, I know not to shame myself for asking for help with anything, and it's been great to help when I've been needed. I love that I got to travel back to Detroit twice this year (third time pending, maybe). So to sum it all up, it's not the year I thought it would be, but Im thinking (as I type this) it's probably the year I needed it to be.

Bailey Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I quit drinking, it's been over 6 months now without a drop of alcohol, I lost 30lbs of body fat, I'm trim and I feel handsome again. I worked my ass off, overcoming myself. People are not the obstacle, our fears are. I face reality and take it as it is. 2014, represented growth, I was afraid I couldn't do it anymore. But I keep learning and getting better at dealing with life's inevitable challenges. Im most proud of my job performance, somehow my work ethic truly translates to the kind of man I want to be. I let my actions speak for me, I don't need your approval, I much prefer my own I'm glad I have gotten better control over my finances, I suppose it helps to actually earn equity. There are of course the failures, things I look back on and realize, that my perfectionists ways set me up for some let downs. I have yet to balance a healthy social life with a "group" I identify with. I know some would think less of me for being so honest. But for me, the saddest part of 2014 is never feeling truly connected to someone. I long for companionship. They say birds of a feather flock together, if that's true whatever feather I have is rare . I yearn for more education, specifically graduate school, since I have been out of school, I want to go back and do more. They say African Americans that possess a graduate level education tend to do as well as White graduates. I think I just miss the idea of being in a classroom engaged with the subject immersed in the learning process, asking questions, pondering how far could I go? I believe I could become a doctor if I set out to. How the hell would I pay for it is beyond me. I'm happy to report I still keep a gratitude journal, going on about a year. I reflect on the things Im grateful for, as opposed to all the things I don't care for, biggest lesson to date...when you feel like expressing gratitude the least, its actually when you need to do it the most. Im glad to see that most of you are in a place you feel at peace with your journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I didn't achieve anything of significance tbh. I got myself a job in Canada and said no. Regret it but the fact I got a job - I'm proud of that. I've also scored myself more interviews this year than in the whole 4 years of my 'career'. Win, Bu...win! Just accept a job next time ok, Bu. I went to Paris and that made me very happy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Not much, just moving to London and starting a totally new life. On the downside I had a big falling out with somebody I thought was a friend, somebody I really supported and did a lot for, who turned out to be a complete narcissist. Even though everyone has said she's not worth it, it still upsets me that it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
