(no subject)
my putting-of-the-words-together generator is pretty well shot today
but there's a new year looming on the horizon
something must be said.
here goes:
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that there's less than a day to go before the new year starts.
and that said new year is 2007.
2007... I'm turning twenty in 2007.
it doesn't seem possible that I've been kicking around for almost two decades now.
Looking back, it makes sense - I have a lot of memories and experiences; I've accomplished a good many things, and I doubt that the volume of memories, experiences, accomplishments, etc. could fit into a shorter time-span.
it's just a bit surprising how quickly, in retrospect, the years pass
I'm trying to figure out where 2006 went.
my mind is having trouble accepting that it's been an entire twelvemonth since last January first.
I have vague recollections of leaving Sitka, travelling all over the place, being reunited with my lovies, school, losing things and gaining things and having a generally topsy-turvy time of it whilst sorting my life out, sex, kisses, dancing around like a madwoman (both in the rain and out of it), meeting new people, making mistakes, learning lessons, kicking the bed above me whenever Nathaniel got too uppity, having a lovely time in the city with Liza, surviving my first conference week...
I guess I was just so busy, and so many things happened to me, that it went by in a blur.
2005 was the hardest year of my life thus far - I hesitate to call it bad, because many a good thing did come my way.
and I spent 2006 sorting out the aftermath. It was by no means an easy year, but it was, overall, an excellent one. I wouldn't have had it go any other way; the lessons I've learned and the things I've accomplished are too valuable.
Last year, I looked to the future with a mad, desperate hope that things would get better. I needed it, or at least I thought I did; I expected everything, and ended up with lap and life full of self-fulfilling prophecies.
This time around, I'm not expecting anything; I'm looking to the future with an open heart and an open mind.
To all my friends, and those I haven't met yet: I send much of my love to you. May 2007 bring you all the joy/ happiness/contentment/accomplishment/other good/positive/constructive stuff you can handle.
Get thoroughly soused for me tonight, and have an excellent time of it while you're at it, aye?
