Last Day of the Year

Dec 31, 2008 09:53

Hey guys.

It's been awhile since you've seen an entry from me, huh? lol There's been many journals in my life.. But somehow I keep coming back to this one. I think I've had it for maybe five years now? More? Slowly, slowly, the friends list has gotten smaller and smaller... That's okay, though. That's life. People have left to go and live their lives -- maybe not happy to chronicle them anymore. Something inside of me, though, and maybe you, doesn't want to leave that part of me behind. I like reflecting on my journey and my life through writing. It's pretty funny -- I looked at my last new years eve entry and I was about 0.8 pounds more than I was. It took me a wholeeee year to lose 0.8 lbs. Ahahahha. ahahhahah. Oh man. That's pretty hysterical.

Needless to say, I have many goals for this year. Some of it is a little trite -- lose the weight, save some cash -- and some of it is newer. Run a half-marathon, get into Midwifery. There's a long list of things that I just want to do. Experience. Enjoy. I don't know what's going to happen, exactly, but I know what I'm going to make happen. I'm 21 this year. I am going to try to make every day this year the best day of my life.. I'm going to try to make this year the best year of my life. I think this is the year of really spreading my wings. I feel ready to breakaway.. And I feel like a lot is going to happen this year -- it is heavy with anticipation.

2008 was alright. I'm glad to see it go. It had a lot of painful things to work through and push past. I can't ever forget how important it was to do what I did, but I'm glad its over with. I learned a lot of things.. That I can be indifferent, that I can make friends with someone I never expected to be friends with again, that sometimes bridges you think are burned are really only a little charred and that I have more strength inside me than I ever thought possible. It wasn't a fun year, but it was a year that shaped me even more into the person I want to be.

I hope you all had a good year, and are looking forward to the one coming -- I just have this feeling that 2009 will be a really great, eventful year. And, man, am I glad to be there lol

new years eve
