Ellen Goodman once said "We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential." and with the coming new year thats exactly what i plan to do! I cant believe that 2010 is already almost over it doesnt feel like its been a year. This year has been definetly a been quite the trip. Ive been through alot this year probably more than usual and to be honest..I am honestly excited for the future which is something I cant say ive been for quite awhile. The year started out pretty good, then in spring hit a really rough patch, but looking back im glad it all happened. There were some nights where I didnt know what was going to happen and days where I was so unsure of myself and who I was. I hate to say it but it was probably some of the darkest times in my life..However I was lucky I have great friends people whos love kept me around and kept me going. As the year continued I was fortunate enough to meet new friends some of the greatest freinds I could ever ask for the kind that are always there even when your having a breakdown a 2am because you dont know where your life is going. Through all the ups and downs they have been there for me giving me support and love and just being there for me and im thankful for them! Summer was a good one this year I found myself starting to get things back in order finding myself in long walks in the park and rediscovering my love of painting and writing, and spending time with friends both old and new made for a memorable summer. Fall came extraodinarly quick it seems this year. I started working at a call center and had the experience of seeing what that was like and unfortunately realizing that it wasnt for me!I also met and started hanging out with this wonderful girl named emily youve probably heard me talk about her before. Shes pretty amazing if I do say so myself! Anyways as fall turned to winter I found myself in a place i never would have thought id be in again and thats madly in love. I also found myself loving my art and embracing it more looking forward to actually trying to make a career out of it. All in all Id say its been an ok year while the first half was rough and there were lots of tears shared with lots of friends lots of late night talks but Ive grown this year and thats what im so happy about! Im excited for the future and what 2011 will bring! I wanna say thank you to all my friends and family and of course to my wonderful girlfriend, all of you are what makes me who I am. I love you all and I hope you all have a great new years!
love peace and chicken grease!
