So I was going to start out with a photoset of all of the pictures I’ve posted of myself this year, but then I decided that it would be way too time consuming.
I also have decided to buck the “in (year), I…” format, because i just don’t feel like doing that. Anyways, 2011.
2011 marks the first year that I’ve actually faced my problems head on, and focused on getting better. I’d like to think that there comes a time in every person’s life where, out of fear or determination or whatever, they get their head screwed on straight.
This makes for a pretty boring year, but I’m on with that. Sometimes you gotta have boring before you can have superexcitingfuntime.
This year, I did not move, or change the color of my hair (it’s been pink for about a year and a day), or have tons of crazy adventures (although I did go to wisconsin once and that was amazing), or make a bunch of crazy new friends (although I’ve gotten a bit closer to the few friends I have down here), or have an existential crisis (although the whole getting better thing has been painful), Or anything that has typically defined my life up to this point.
From the outside, it seems like a bum year. To me, however, it’s been a year of preparation. I am in a very different place than I was last december mentally, and it’s a place of being all revved up and ready to go.
I’m pretty excited for 2012. I expect amazing things. Whether the world ends or not in december, I’m gonna make it fucking count.
