my attitude in general is changing, i think.
i'm becoming more carefree, and realizing: you learn from every single experience. some are bad, some are good... but each time, you walk away knowing a little bit more. i know that's quite cliche, and everyone gets to that point eventually... but i feel a little bit more content now that i've reached it. i'm not saying i don't get stressed out anymore, or depressed, or upset over stupid crap, but in the long run... i've gotten over a lot of pettyness.
i think my job has done a lot for me in this respect. so much bullshit occurs... but you know what? i need my job, i need the money, and when it boils down to it: i like what i do. the people around me may cause incredible amounts of drama... but hell, that teaches me different ways of dealing with the problems that roll in my direction. it "builds character." it sure does.
2003 has gone away now. where did it all go? what happened to me?
i... saw the two year mark of my relationship with jeremy, we had some ups and downs... but thankfully, mostly ups. we've gotten a lot closer and know eachother better than ever.
i got my first job and i'm still working there. like i said, it's taught me a lot in different ways.
i started my senior year of high school. my last year. in that same vein, i got accepted to my next school. i am accepted at the college i wanted to go to. way weird, but way cool.
the dynamics of my relationships with all of my friends have changed, in mostly good ways. i'm tons closer to people that i didn't think i ever would be. i know a lot more about everyone's motivations and driving factors. it's cool.
i've had a roller coaster of emotions regarding everything - myself, my life, my family, my friends, my boyfriend, school. everything. and i think throughout the ride, i've figured a lot of things out. i think i like myself better as a person now. there is still a lot of room for growth and areas that i most definitely need to improve on, but in general... i think i'm heading somewhere pretty decent.
we'll see where this year takes me. it'll be another one full of changes...
