Last post of the year.

Reflecting back on 2008, I feel like this is the year where I really learned a lot about myself. :) It's the year I finally got out of my parent's house, the year I got my tattoos and piercings against my parents' wishes, the year I really learned to let go & not give a damn what anybody says. It's been up & down. Especially with my family. This year really put a toll on us. I think my dad is going through a midlife crisis and he doesn't know it. This is the first time in a really long time that my father and I really connected on another level. I think it's being away from each other that did it. My mother and I on the other hand, are just like we always are. Arguing one minute, joking around the next. :) Relationship wise, this year.. SUCKED. I still have that guard up that I'm terrified of letting down. I'll let it down one day.. and maybe for Adrian. :) School.. I didn't do too well. I think it was the freedom and basically the fact that I took so many damn classes. IDK what made me do it. And it's not just that there were so many, but I took all hard ones. I ended up dropping A&P2. And I won't talk about the rest. This year I decided for myself about what I wanted to do in life. And that's to go to LPN school and MAYBE go back to RN depending on how I like being an LPN, but I will NEVER just settle for LPN. I have lost contact with some of my best friends that I literally grew up with throughout school. My best friend EVER is getting married January 10th and all I got was an invitation to go to it. I admit that it was my fault for letting her go, but I guess we all learn from our mistakes and move on. Thinking of the past has made me realize what I've missed because I never made that effort to see how a friend is doing and where she is in life. I miss my girls. :( Today is my Goddaughter's FIRST birthday and where am I? Stuck in Gainesville, in bed, sick as hell. I have missed so many opportunities because I never learned how to hold my tongue. Sure, speaking your mind is good for you, but what about to the other person? I've never considered the other party's feelings. This year, I reunited with one of the best girls in my life, Frances Coarsey. My roommate, one of my closest friends. I honestly don't know what I would do without this girl. We have made sooo many memories, cried with each other countless times and laughed twice as much.

In 2009, my resolutions are to better myself and to get back in contact with those that I grew up with. I'm going to learn not to take who or what I have in my life for granted. :)

I hope everyone has had a wonderful 2008 and have fun with 2009. :)
