We're right on New Year's Eve. Where did the year go?!!! A year well-lived means I am without regrets on this day, the last day of the year. Does it count for something if I haven't made anyone cried. Anyone who is displeased with me should check their own opinions and discern whether they're displeased because I didn't do what they want me to, or I truly did them wrong.
I have learnt to distinguish between doing something in order to make someone happy and whether I truly want to. I have come to realize that when people are displeased with me, it's usually for their own selfish, entitled reasons. And I'm equally selfish because I do not want to fulfil their sense of self-entitlement and obediently play my part in their picture of things.
I have learnt so much from the dogs. I'm very partial to this breed, and their traits align with what I seek in friends too. While I'm very logical and methodical, I sometimes lose the human touch in handling matters. I don't have a low EQ. I'm just not partial to having it guide my decisions. I'm not too bothered about being tactful. To that, I still have so much to learn about getting along with people, keeping friends, and being a friend and a half-decent human being.
