Retrospect...

Well 2007 is over. It hasn't been the best year but it hasn't been the worst year. It did start out on a low, where I was still living with Karyn two months after our breakup. I was starting to get really depressed. Around the end of January, I decided to make plans to move in with Natalie to get away from Karyn (heh). I further spiraled in February, reaching my lowest point during that month. I finally moved out of Karyn's at the beginning of March but I still found myself in that rut. Moving helped a bit but I needed more change. I quit Victory Records at the end of April for a job at the local casino. That moved helped too for I was not spending two and a half to three hours in transit every day like I was when going to Chicago. I was slowly recovering. It really started to come together in August when Natalie and I moved to Highland and I started to see Karyn less and less. That's the move that really got me out of my post-relationship funk. It turns out I just needed a lot more time away from Karyn to really get over her. I was seeing her way too much. It also helped that I re-kindled a lot of older friendships and made some new ones at the casino.

Things are looking up for me in 2008. I got my final divorce hearing in March. I realized I can actually like myself most of the time. I'm becoming aware of bad habits I tend to have in relationships so I may take care of them in the next one. I made a decision to move out of northwest Indiana by August. I've got a whole new life coming up in 2008. I'm pretty excited to see where I'm headed. I think 2008 is going to be a bit scary but hopefully one of the best years in a long time for me.
