2008
I have been checking my email every fifteen minutes, all day, waiting for the response.
I don't know if I'm impatient or worried for some reason.
If I could find a word to briefly describe 2008, I think I'd describe it as a fire. Every part of life was consumed, be it destructive, tragic, or maybe even beautiful. This year has been a trying time for just about everyone involved in it. Time, for myself, seemed to be separated by both the wakes I attended as well as dentist appointments and pay periods. I feel as if I was tested, to make sure that I could stand up to the brunt force of "the real world". I think I passed.
I've lost people. I've thrown people out. I've watched so many people become liars to themselves and others. 2008 was about finding out who would truly be there through it all, and not those who don't have the shred of decency to even fake a kind word for someone else. This year is about finding others in oneself. Without others, one cannot make themselves complete. Here's to you, 2008.
2009 is about rebuilding after the fire. The upcoming year is simply about making everything better than what it was before.
