Goodbye 2011.

Thank you for being more than kind to me. You’ve helped me achieve so much these past 365 days.

This year:

I turned 18, that magical number, hello adulthood. 
I met an amazing boy.
I found my boo.
I now have a wonderful circle of friends who bring so much joy to my days. They are among those who I consider the most amazing people into my life, people who I hope to still be as close with in 50 years
Family life has never been better.
Has been a year of many firsts.
The 3 closest people from high school have stuck around, through the good and bad times.
I have grown up. In more ways than one.
I’ve discovered a lot about myself.
I’ve changed my views on certain aspects of life.
I learn’t how to ‘goat’. ;) 

But most importantly, I fell in love. Something I never could see myself doing. I’d like to say it came out of the blue, but something deep inside knew that this was the right time and right guy for it. We found each other and that was it, it happened. He is amazing. Not just for being able to put up with so much of my shit and still loving me but just for being himself. He is everything I could ask for and then some. Nicholas, I truly do love you. 

Thank you 2011.. For actually listening to me when I asked you at 11:59 on the 31st of December 2010 to be kind to me.

Bring on 2012. I’d ask you to be even kinder, but I don’t want to push my luck. So be what you are supposed to be. I’m stronger, wiser and ready for anything you throw at me.
