Obligatory 2008 Post
Dear 2008,
While 2007 was a year full of amazingness that occurred in countries other than the U.S.A., it was an emotional roller coaster which I would be exceedingly overjoyed not to repeat. While I had some of the best moments in my life in 2007, I also, undeniably, had some of my worst. I think that in 2007 I cried more than in any other year, barring those when I was unable to communicate otherwise. 2008, I would really appreciate if you treated me better than 2007 did. I don't think I can take another year like that. No, scratch that, of course I *could* take it, I would just prefer not to. Strongly prefer. I think that it would be wonderful just to have a calm year. A content year, maybe even a somewhat happy year. I also hope that I have made the right decision regarding going abroad again. I think staying stateside was the right move for me, but one can never really tell until afterwards, right? Despite everything that has happened in the past 12+ most recent months... As usual I am of the opinion that "there are no coincidences, only inevitabilities" and as such, I implore 2008 to present both myself and the rest of you with some hopefully pleasing inevitabilities.
To a calm and peaceful 2008, everyone.
Love,
Dara
