The Cynical Girl: 2012 Accomplishments

---

2012 Accomplishments Posted: 28 Dec 2012 03:45 AM PST I always end the year by writing about my accomplishments, failure, regrets, and resolutions. Today’s post is about accomplishments. I have a few. I spent another year being Laurie Fucking Ruettimann. It is harder than it looks. I quit my job on a high note before becoming ineffective or bitter. I continued to travel, write and speak. But who cares about all of that nonsense? I did some other amazing things, too. I wrote almost every day. I set boundaries. I forgave. I loved people who didn’t deserve it. I told people who deserved it to go to hell. I tried to be more inclusive. And I became the runner I was in my head thanks to many awesome friends who simply said, “You can do it.” I can. I did. Thank you.
