I'm grateful for the bittersweet of life and of relationships. Oh, I may not say that in the midst of the circumstance or relationship but hindsight tells me I am grateful for it. I'm grateful that along with the bitter there is some sweet to be found. It may be small, barely registering on the scale of life, but it is there and I have personally experienced the growth of the sweet to balance out the bitter that comes. But in some ways, here's where I get crazy, I am also grateful for the bitter of life. (Hindsight, this is all in hindsight.) In the bitter of life I have seen some pretty incredible things happen and people rise to courage, myself included. And there has been tremendous personal growth from the bitter turned to sweet things of life. It's all a matter of perspective.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
