So... 2010.
The negative:
-My aunt Julie passed away after a 10-year battle with cancer.
-My mom had to go to the hospital twice, once for a day after a fall and once for a week with a blood infection.
-About seven months were spent being unemployed.
-My mom's cousin Ed was recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, which has apparently already spread.
-I got in my first two car accidents. Though they were both extremely minor, I still felt pretty stupid.
-Had my first foray into online dating, which within the span of one week led to one guy telling me he didn't want to see me again and another just not calling me back. (It also had a success, though. Read on.)
-My depression slipped lower than it ever had before during my first few weeks in Texas. I was just so lonely and had myself convinced that everyone here was going to reject me. I'm mostly over that, but it still lingers.
The positive:
-I moved to Austin. While at first I was pretty well convinced I made a huge mistake, it's grown on me considerably.
-I worked on three movies.
-I've made new friends.
-This summer I got to go on my first road trip.
And something that should probably be on the positive list but to me feels like something in between... I seem to have found myself a boyfriend. He's a really fantastic guy, but I'm still really uneasy about being in a relationship and what that means. I don't know. One step at a time, I guess.
2011 owes me.
