Looks like I did not meet my 2024 challenge - missed it by 3 books.

CHALLENGE
I rarely use this blog to express personal things, but I do make exceptions at the end of the year.I discovered a great song in 2024 - Bridges Burn by Needtobreathe. My whole life I have been told to 'never burn my bridges" because I may need to use that bridge, at some point, especially when it comes to my career. I have come to realize that I WANT to watch all my bridges burn, I am tired of looking behind me for answers and I am tired of trying to fit square pegs into round ones.Going back into my past, be it relationships or jobs has NEVER paid off, not once. I kept trying to "fix" the relationships and that somehow, the fact that I did not end up with a particular guy the first time, was something I could now go back and fix - NOPE, the Universe had it right the first time, Every. Single. Time. Even from a career point of view, I refuse to go back and repeat the same mistakes over and over, just with different employers. Learning this has given me several life lessons that I wish I had learned the first time around, but my mother has always said that I needed to be hit over the head with the brick before "I got it".To, once again, quote NEEDTOBREATHE, I now pretty much "dance in the light of a lesson learned" and I love it! Obviously, I will still make mistakes, but god willing, they will never be because I chose to look back instead of ahead. I want to keep looking forward, I do not look backwards anymore because that is not the direction I am going.So, to all the people in my past, be it bosses or boyfriends, thank you for the life lessons, but I do not want you in my life. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.Happy 2025 to everyone, publishers, people who read this blog, even when I do not update it for weeks, and to the people I do love and love having in my life - health and happiness to all, May you always dance in the light of a lesson learned.
