an ode to 2007
oh 2007, how i have loved you.
2007 was my last full year of school. i will graduate before 2008 is over. i will officially be an adult in 2008.
in 2007 i have been to awesome concerts, taken amazing trips, made a boat load of fabulous new friends and spent glorious time with some of my oldest friends. i live in a city that i fall in love with more every day. i have a job that i am excited to go to and coworkers that can always make me smile.
in 2007 i found a new style. more like a new twist on my old style but a new style none the less. i found new comfort in my own skin within a body that is aging. i found a new respect for the body that holds my soul and my heart and keeps me going through the good times and the bad.
in 2007 i was lucky enough to fall in love even though it didnt work out. i still have the hope in my heart that i can and will fall again.
in 2007 i learned how to take care of myself. i learned how to stick up for myself. i learned how to spend time with myself. i learned that i should do what i want, when i want to make myself happy. i learned how to make myself happy.
in 2007 i thought about the future.
i felt joy.
i felt sorrow.
i felt fear.
i fought the fear and it made me stronger, it made me better.
at the end of 2007 i can look back on my year and know that i have accomplished a lot.
thank you 2007. i will cherish you even in your final moments. thank you for preparing me for 2008.
