Lesson 100: Centennial

So I did it. I've reached 100 posts on this blog. It turns out that its initial purpose doesn't really matter anymore. There were even times when I was blogging and I forgot about the origin in the first place. I guess that's what happens with projects like this.

Of course, I've learned a lot--things that were funny, some that were profound. I had lessons on self-discovery, odd things and even a few painful lessons. In some cases, I confirmed things that I already knew or realized that there were things that I may not be meant to know everything about. There were a few posts that feature poor writing if nothing else, and there were a few that I was hesitant to release but ended up making public anyway. But ultimately, I like to think that my initial hypothesis holds true as long as you are willing to search for something new to learn everyday. Life is willing to offer tons of lessons as long as you are willing to learn.

There were some cases where I realized that what I didn't know was more important than what I did know. There were numerous things that I still don't know, and they make life more challenging, and more painful but ultimately more exciting and more interesting. These things open up new doors, and in doing such, they help me to progress to wherever it is that I will ultimately end up. I've learned that you can't rush these things until they're supposed to come. There's no way of knowing for sure, but I figure that some things that I've always envisioned for my life will come at a time when I am ready for them. It won't be easy waiting for them, but the wait will make them that much sweeter.

Of course, as I reach my 100th post, I look back to my first one, about picking up my pen and starting this project. Will I expect a future husband to teach me something new every day? No. But not having that expectation doesn't mean I won't learn something from him every day. Within these 100 days, I've learned about this man--if he exists at, I just want is to be loved out loud. I want to be needed, and I need to be wanted.

Will I continue with this blog? Maybe. Maybe I'll continue to document things I learn, but given what I've learned, I don't think it's necessary to have expectations of where this (or anything) will go in the future.
