Hello Silent world of LiveJournal,
So I read Jen's post and her recap and it made me want to think about this year too. 2008 got off to a bad start. A pretty bad weight gain and relationship gone sour. Took FAR too long for me to begin to actually fix them, but I fixed the latter by realizing he was poison to my system...shortly thereafter I began to like my body again...thus, I have lost a few pounds and gained a healthy attitude. Held the shittiest job known to man and worked the worst hours, but now I know what it means to be miserable, and shall never let myself slip into that coffin again. My parents surrendered the house to a plummeting economy, two of my sisters friends passed away, got over a boyfriend and got a campus job.
But,...after all of that...I have to say, I am really quite happy. School is becoming more and more of a perfect patchwork-world I have made for myself. Unique to my social and personal taste. Also, I'm learning to like myself more. No idea what occupation I'm going to end up with using an Animal Science degree, but I'm thinking of picking up an Education Minor. A boy told a friend he would like to kiss me . I'm finding what is important. For instance, spending time with family and friends, and doing what you can to make yourself happy TODAY. My mom and I are currently half-paying attention to PRINCE CASPIAN. I have read the entire TWILIGHT series and am spending giftcards like issa mah jahb.
I hope 2009 is a continuation of the road I've been heading down. I see happiness for this year. The economy is failing, but a small positive is that it is teaching us that materials aren't important.
