2007 - A Year in Review.
It is simply amazing - each year seems to go faster as I continue to mature. I cannot even fatham how it is already the year I graduate high school, 2008; it is slowly approaching.
2007, in retrospective was an interesting year. I saw many things, learned various things and sparked many ideas. Let's begin...
The beginning of this year was a tad gloomy I suppose. A friend of mine, a good friend of mine - we stopped talking. The ideas behind it all were very odd and honestly, meaningless - to let a friendship die over another is a really terrible thing. Hopefully, this grudge wil cease. As the year progressed, I did many different things. One thing in particular, was an anime convention - animeNEXT 2007. A lot of people thing its very nerdy - so what if iti is? I'm surrounded by other Otaku and anime fans, I loved it. Being there, did a lot for me. One, I was alone with friends. I felt, as my friend, Ernie put it, I came closer to my friends. It was a great time and I loved it. Also, it showed me that I could take care of myself if away from home. My plans in 2010 - 2011 are to study abroad in Asia - particularly Japan and South Korea. To make those happen, I must be on the ball and study, yes? With this in mind, I must have the mentality to be able to be "alone". Although I am sure I would make friends in Japan, I will still feel lonesome when I want someone familiar near my side.
Two of my friends went to Disney to study for college - how amazing is that? This helped me out even more - it gave me a sense of "enthusiasm" I suppose. I felt I could get to Japan if my friends could get to Disney. I miss them dearly and I await their return in January.
There have been many things wrong lately. One in particular ,was the loss of Tara. A lot of people thing she was just a cat - she was honestly, my companion. You can say what you want about me, but she was like my little girl. I remember the day I got her clearly, i even remember what I was wearing. That day to me, will never leave my heart. The day of Tara's death, I died too. A lot of my muse died. I learned that friends - all types of friends can be taken at any time. Don't waste time having petty fights; they aren't worth it. I all admit I did cry for a few days after losing Tara - I will never forget her. I think about her when I go to sleep - I miss her sleeping on my chest cuddled up in my covers with me, how she woke me up by running on me, running into my arms when I came home from work or school or squeaking at me to be picked up. I will never stop thinking of Tara - you will never be replaced in my heart.
I feel I have been distant from my friends these past few weeks, and I am sorry. I needed time alone, but I feel I'm alright now. I needed that time alone for various reasons. I feel now, I am ready. I needed time to recooperate from various events that occured to me as well as my family. I begin anew this upcoming year.
I have learned so much this year, some times I had fun learning them, and yet others, I cried over. But this is what life is- if I were to mourn all the time from my mistakes, I wouldn't be where I am at this very moment. It is now time to pick up the pieces and continue on.
This upcoming year, I will be getting a second job. I will continue saving money for college, however, once in while I plan on buying a few things for myself. This was one thing I never did, and I feel if I do, I will remain content. Also, I plan on changing my diet scheme. Honestly, I didn't have a diet scheme, but latley I think at the way I eat, I will be digging an early grave. I plan on a healthier eating style and be a wise spender. I will continue my Japanese and Korean studies. When I feel I have enough skill, I plan on taking the Japanese and Korean Regents exam. After that, I shall begin Chinese. My plans on going to Asia will happen. I will make it happen. I will become someone.
2007 was an incredible year, some amazing times, some bad times, but overall, I have matured in so many ways. I am looking foward to this upcoming year.
