It's a new year now. And I am kind of sad, but kind of relieved to be leaving 2009 behind.
There have been heaps of failures, where things didn't go to plan, or times where things disappointed me. Times where I've disappointed others. Or when I just couldn't be arsed trying anymore.
But, heaps of successes too. When you're snug in bed in that soft warm feeling between awake and asleep, you get out of bed anyway because you know the day is going to be awesome. When you do the hard work and it pays off, looking at your grades and thinking 'I didn't waste those sunny days in the library for nothing'. The moments that make you stop and think 'Wow. Life is really pretty amazing.' When you understand you're more than just this one solitary person, and you realise you don't need to be. And I don't mean this just for Michael, I mean it for all of my friends. You are wonderful.
I think I shall start doing that now. Defining my life by its successes rather than its failures. Coz it sure is a heck of a lot less depressing. :] and probably a lot more fun.
Slightly nervous and tentative about what 2010 will bring. Decisions have been made, it gets harder to stay in touch, and we're all changing.
But excited too :] This, I think, is the year where we all grow up.
