::2005::
Wow, 2004 is over and done. It's crazy how you don't realize that time is flying by so quickly because your lifestyle either by choice or due to the influences of outside forces can prevent you from just enjoying the days as they pass. Personally, with all the stuff that happened I can neglect how much actually goes on in my life because of how I let events or obligations consume so much of my mental and emotional capacity. I consider that neither good nor bad, but rather something that may need to be re-adjusted. The past year has given me so much to be thankful for. I found a person who could fully and unconditionally love me, our year anniversary is literally around the corner. I was able to reconnect more with my maternal grandma and I wish she didn't go back to Texas. I know that I didn't always act like it, or even show it, but I appreciated all the time we had together. I'm humbled by the fact that my health situation went as perfectly as it could have. I love that I was able to connect with old friends again, as well as new ones. It's a relief that I'm a fully "legal eagle". I'm grateful that those I love have met new milestones and are moving on to new chapters in their lives, as well as maintained their health. More recently, I'm looking forward to sharing my life with a new puppy. Twas a good year...even though I didn't fare so well in the academic region...but let us not speak of such evil. But I would like to show you something that's not evil at all! Here are a couple pictures of my puppy, Jack.
This has been a year of internal conflict, as with most of my years since the start of adolescence. I've felt the pangs of depression, insecurity, confusion, distress, and lack of self-worth. These are all things that are not in any means new experiences, but I'm proud to say that I'm better able to cope. It has been rough, I won't lie that I fell prey to destructive behavior. I snapped myself out of it more quickly than I ever could before, with thanks to my strong support group. I guess my constant effort in trying to better deal could be considered a New Year's resolution, but I look at it more as a life resolution, same as my quest to improve myself by moving in a positive direction in all aspects of my life.
It's a new year, and a chance to start new ventures. I've been pondering my current path in the world of academics. So I've made up my mind. I will eventually finish my double-major. My short term goal within the next 2 years is to pursue a career in the hairstylist field. I ultimately want to have my own business. That's what I want to do with my life. I'm sure that my degree in economics would be of benefit, but that will come in due time. I need a better balance for myself, and figuring out how to balance everything between these two worlds will give me that.
That's all I have for now. I'm sure that I could conjure up more babble, but this will do for tonight. Happy New Year. I hope everyone has the opportunity to make the most of it.
Random Blurb: I'm excited to see what the year has to offer.
