Wow, this month has been so busy I've hardly had the time to blog! Now that's just not acceptable. The new year is only days away. What a year it's been. What a month it's been. Me and my estranged friend over the past year, Augusta, mended our broken relationship. I thank God for that. Everything fell together in the right timing for us to (unexpectedly) cross paths and talk. In my heart I always prayed that something would happen to bring us together before this year ended. So I'm very thankful that we are back together...thick as thieves! I spent a lot of time preparing for my Christmas trip to New York City. It was phenomenal!!! Felt good to get away from Alabama, and experience some culture. My desire to move there has multiplied 3,000 times over. I feel more out of place every time I trek back to the south. Not that it's a bad place, but it's not the place for me. How amazing it is to be able to wear what you want, do what you want, and be accepted just for who you are. That's my kind of place.
Last night I went out to celebrate my 24th birthday with some friends. I can't help but think of all the blessings from this year. Being with friends and people who I feel genuinely love and care about me makes me smile inside. I can never forget the feeling of being unloved and ostracized for most of the year. I was happy to spend my birthday with Stephanie & Cale, I consider them my saving grace. My life has only gotten better since becoming friends with them. Those are the kind of friendships I want to pursue in 2009. I should be able to say "my life is better with you in it". What's the point in having people in your life that only drain you of happiness???
Forgetting all the pain of '08...pressing on to face the wonders of 2009.
"but I won't give up tomorrow, cause I've come to life again" :)
