Phwew. So here we are in 2009. Last night was a success, I'd say. There was a good group of people there, including a lot of people that I hadn't seen in ages. I drank a little too much red wine... well, maybe WAY too much red wine, and I'm paying for it today. I'm ready to start this year with a clean slate and am definitely through with drinking for the most part.
You know, it's strange. I can't even remember last new years really. It seems so long ago. I suppose it was, I mean a year is a considerable amount of time. But for as long as it is, it sure seems to fly by damn fast. 2008 was quite a year. I think I really started to figure out who I am, what I'm about, and what I truly want and need in my life. I fell in love. I went to Australia and found out I had more independence that I had ever thought. I met so many awesome people and really started to immerse myself in music (thanks largely to the influences of my brother and friends). I changed immensely and learned that I have to stick up for myself, even when it breaks my heart. I learned that you really can't judge a book by it's cover and became best friends with people I didn't really see myself ever becoming close with. I gained more confidence and security in myself. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone so many times and benefited so much from it. I got pierced and tattooed more than I probably should have. I jumped out of an airplane 14,000 feet in the air. I drummed until I blistered. I found myself in places I never thought to look. There were good times and bad times. Tears were shed and I laughed until my abs hurt and I couldn't breath.
2008 was, without a doubt, a landmark year for me. And now the transition into 2009 somewhat represents the transition that is to come in my life. I'm at a turning point in my life. I feel like I finally have all the tools to mold my life into everything I've wanted and I'm ready to seize opportunities that arise and work for my goals. I'm so excited to see where this next year takes me.
