2015 Overview
Well, what can I say about 2014 except that I'm damned glad its in the past? It was a year that saw me suffer major injury, chronic poverty, crushing debt, and then it garnished that dish with some side helpings of watching people that matter to me dearly endure loss, sorrow, illness, imprisonment and every kind of grief and stress humans can experience.
But now we get to the bright side. I found my voice and can write again. The most beloved of my old flames and exes lives in MI again and I get to see him regularly. Helping him in even small ways, spending time with him even for a few hours here or there...lights a fire of happiness in me that people can see burning in my eyes for days afterwards. My work is starting the year off with a rush of jobs that is rare in wintertime, so for once I'm not destitute in the cold months. My friends are slowly recovering from the battering they took in the previous year and it looks like their lives will be improving just like my own.
I feel hopeful. I feel as if all is possible. I feel like enduring and struggling garners some results instead of just being symbolically relevant but actually useless. Maybe it is just the attitude that matters, but if I can sustain this feeling through the new year we're in, perhaps I can make 2015 a year in which dreams actually come true. If belief counts for anything, this year will be legendary.
Let's hope that 2015 is as good to you as its been to me so far! Enjoy!
