Thank God.
I did not enjoy this year that much.
So I've made a pact with myself,
I will make 2009 a year that I'll always want to look back on.
This year I got one of my most amazing friends back and lost her again all within about a 7 or 8 month period (we're still friends, she just relocated to the evil Florida). Technology-wise, this year I went through 4 phones and managed not to kill my laptop, which is a huge feat for me. I also managed to come out of my shell a little bit and realized that this whole year I had spent my time trying to turn myself into this person that I thought I should be, when really I should just be the person I am.
In 2009, I'm only making 2 resolutions,
- Seek God, truly seek Him.
- Keep strong in myself and my image. It doesn't matter what I'm expected to dress like or how I'm expected to act. I'm just going to be me.
So in honor of the year passing, I'm stealing an idea from Candice.
