my first journal of 2009
welcome year 2009
i greet you with open arms :]
out with the old and in with the new is what they say, but 08 left alot of good, more than other years
i can actually say that i learned and changed alot this year
i looked at myself on new years eve and i hardly recognized myself
which isnt as bas as it sounds
this year i am: stronger, more experienced and independent
i have been through hell and back this past year
a year ago i was still holding on to things that werent there anymore
letting go was the best thing i did last year
i let go of the ties, the memories, and my doubt
i doubted if i could move on; if things would ever go back to "normal"
kudos life, you proved me wrong, things are better than i could have ever imagined at the time
i learned so many new things this year, its amazing
and i made so many new friends in the process, it made it all that more fun and exciting
i dont ever remember feeling so alive
simply living was the best thing i did this year
i didnt get a new car
i didnt go on an amazing vacation
i didnt win the lottery
i didnt get a new phone
i didnt obtain fame and/or fortune
i lived every day, day by day
i enjoyed and made the most out of every day
i savored the moments that make this life worth living
and i appreicated everyone who was a part of those moments
i saw things that i would have usually overlooked
i listened and not just heard
i took chances and let change in
change is the best thing that happened to me
really there is nothing more that i could have asked for in 08
it definitely had its ups and down
and i wouldnt change one bit of it
everything i've been through has shaped who i am
and i like who im becoming
i cant wait to see who i become
i cant wait to keep doing this crazy wonderful thing we call life
bring it on 2009; im ready to go
