Every year a new wave.

It feels appropriate to make my last blog post of 2015 about reflection.

I learned a lot this year. About myself. About others.

Here are five of my new truths:

• Sleep is the antidote.
• Accepting other people’s judgements of you, good or bad, is a disservice to yourself.
• Patience is what dreams are made of.
• (Genuinely) good people still exist.
• Practicing empathy is a lost art that comes with confounding results.
