Isn't it beautiful when you realize that you have accomplished almost everything you wanted to for the past year? I hadn't felt this kind of "goodness" in a while.
It's finally here.
Not everything was fun – or easy – but 2008 marks the start of a lot of new things for me.
I moved back home as a completely different person. That's an experience in itself. I fell hard in and out of love. I had major surgery. I became friends with my sister and gained a friend/brother-in-law in the process. I traveled a bunch, reunited with good and old friends, went back to weekly therapy. Was crazy happy, then crazy sad, then crazy happy all over again. I took BIG chances, stepped out of my element, and I don't regret a thing.
Being proud of yourself is one of the few things nobody can take away from you.
And I feel pretty damn good about myself right now.
