Goodbye Last Year, Hello Next Year
At lunch yesterday, my brain spilled a nice, rambling LJ post into my mobile phone. The phone froze, the post was lost. I walked back to my desk and my boss said we could leave early. Retry the post or leave early? Duh.
2007 was by far the weirdest, most difficult and emotionally draining year of my life. I've learned a lot this year, about myself and others; about life, love and the pursuit of happiness. I've been to places within myself that I never imagined I would have to visit, often very scary and uncomfortable places. I've been confronted by the forces of unhappiness and distrust, anger and pain, guilt and regret. I've lost a lot, but gained so much more. Somehow, and I have no idea how, I managed to pull through it and end the year on a much more positive note than I had ever expected. Having been to the extreme ends of unhappiness in 2007, I am looking forward to a much brighter, happier 2008. I am truly thankful for all of my friends and family, casual acquaintances and complete strangers that have supported and reached out to me this past year. Without them, I would be lost myself.
Here's a tip of the glass to all of you, them and everyone else.
