2008 Is Done
It seemed like this year would never be over, but now that it’s done, it seemed so brief.
So many things hit me at once this year: my terrible struggle to find a job after graduating (four months!); the enormity of the job I finally found (a temp job at EKU, which ended today); the massive hole in my life that was left when I graduated; my frustration at no longer being able to sculpt (no room here to do so); loss of friendship and friends; family drama, friend drama and just drama; health issues; love and loss issues; my growing depression, isolation and alienation; my mom’s sickness; and now, having to go into the New Year jobless and with little prospect of finding a job anytime soon in this uncertain economy of ours.
Hopefully 2009 will be better; hopefully everything will work out, and I’ll be gainfully employed, sculpting again, and approaching happiness.
And maybe flying monkeys will come out of my ass. Oops, there goes one now…
