2016- was supposed to be the year of me. The year , I promised myself that I will do what i want, when i want, and how i want. I promised myself an year back, that i will not be dominated, i will not be used (Professionally, i mean), and I will not be taken advantage off, that i will not give in to the demands of the kid, I will use my holidays wisely, blah blah. Well.. that was the expectation.
Reality:
- I turned my kid into a spoilt brat. Excessive love dominated parenting.
- I chose being a friend to being a leader. My collogues at work see me as a friend, not as a lead (Even when i am one).
- I spent majority of holidays staying at home , thinking the kid would not survive the vacation!
- I got dominated by the monster-in-law (third time in a row). Worst part, i coudlnt say a word..even when a volcano was bursting inside me !
- I should learn to tell a no . I should learn to tell a no (This is a recursive resolution, which never stops, i never learn. sigh!)
The best part about the year: I was able to get a 2-day non-kiddo time. My blore trip-the best thing that has happened to me the whole year. I love my friends..muah!
The worst thing that happened: In my mission to lose weight and gain muscles and eat clean, I had become stronger and muscular. But a day of clean eating equalled a week of junk eating. sigh..again!
Did i grow up? NO. Did i learn something? Yes. That whatever i plan to do, do without hesitation.
Be it being a strict parent, or a strict lead, or opposing my mil, or not eating junk- stick to it whatever i decide. An year from now, i dont want to have any regrets. Hopefully!.
So much to talk..hope i do the walk.. 🙂
World..through my eyes!
