2009! and looking back on 2008

wow 2009! crazyyy. it seems like just yesterday we were taking green food dye "shots", playing manhunt, and climbing out of windows to welcome in 2008. it doesn't really seem like much has changed. well i guess a lot has, it's just gone unnoticed.
I've lost a friend, gained a boyfriend (plus a few other close friends).
I've lost complete sight of my life long dream, to pursue another.
I've given up the one thing that has always came easy to me, and discovered something i can fail at and learn from.
instead of worrying about what others think, I've accepted myself for who i am.
and instead of dwelling on the past, I've learned to look at the whole picture, to examine my life and my future and everything that comes along with it.
i guess, in the grand scheme of things, I've grown up. I've regretted and hesitated, tried and failed. I've changed and grown, I've laughed and I've loved, prospered and progressed, but most of all, I've learned-
that anything can be achieved... if you just believe.
