2008

I actually wrote a full entry which listed things from the year but I decided I didn't want to post it.

This starts sounding depressed, which I'm not and then gets happy so don't be too put off.

2008 has been a huge year for me. It has probably been one of my most chalenging years. I first want to apologize to everyone for what I see as my steem roler approach. So much of this year I've felt like I was just barging my way into places and ruining things and I couldn't find the breaks even though I could see the distruction. Whether or not you guys felt like that I'm not sure but I'm sorry I really haven't been a good friend most of this year, I've taken more than I've given and in truth that's probably because I felt, many times, that I had nothing to offer. To everyone who has stuck by me this year I thank you.

I have certainly cried more in this year than probably in all previous years of my life put together, maybe excluding the first six months of my existance. I have learned that delaying things makes them a lot worse and that sometimes a good cry in the beginning is much better than waiting ten months and having everything build up. I am still learning to deal with my brother's serious relationship which has forced me to take a good hard look at myself and deal with some of my personal insecurities and prejudices. I have learned that I need to be more patient with others, Bonny and myself. I am so glad that Andrew didn't completely listen to me when I practically begged him to take Bonny back.

But the year has also had many good things for me! I have made a lot of new friends and gotten to know some older ones better. I have grown closer to God. I have gotten more interested in sport and it has been a great outlet. I have gained independents and confidence and a lot of new skills which I'm sure will prove very useful in the years to come. I have learned that laughter really is the best medicine and there is so much reason to smile and laugh. I have learned that skipping is fun! I have learned that sometimes it doesn't take much to make a persons whole day. I've learned that it's okay not to be perfect.

Next year is the most uncertain of my life thus far. I think that I will have a lot to write this time next year about what has happened over the course of the twelve months. I may have shared some of these with some of you but I don't think I will write them in here, I'm sure it will be obvious if they come to pass. Next year is going to be huge. I am nervous but also excited!

But for now I just want to thank everyone again for making 2008 awesome!
huuuuge hugs
until next year.
