Best and Worst of the year

Best: got a great girlfriend still going strong 7 years later, great job with a great boss and I'm doing very well financially. Finding this group.

Worst - Hurricane Sandy devastated my friend's home and my partner's mother isn't doing so great.

 

Worst: Losing my mom and my dog to cancer. My closeted friend ceasing contact with me, who I thought I was in love with. Having my first suicidal thoughts.

Best: Finding something to live for again (my love and passion of nature and biodiversity). Finally finishing my thesis and getting my Master's degree. Going on a couple roadtrips with my dad and a couple trips with my best friends. Having an amazing support system of close friends that helped me get through the worst times this year. Attempting a positive outlook at the end of this year and vowing to myself to try to be a better and kinder person, leave my bitter and jaded baggage behind, and pursue happiness in whatever form it manifests itself.

Here's hoping that this coming year is much better that last year! Good riddance to 2012.

 

Best:

Coming out to the people I have, and joining EC.
Going to my very first Pride and being in the parade!
Making out with a girl!
Finding a new job after the store I worked at for 5 years closed down.
FINALLY graduated from high school!

Worst:

The store I worked at for 5 years closed down.

Overall, I would say this is one of the better years that I've had. I've discovered a lot about myself, and I feel myself coming out of my shell more and more!

 

Best:



Starting for the first time this year to really get a taste of the life I want for myself. Getting to know all sorts of different kinds of people, getting out and having adventures with friends, trying new stuff and taking on some real responsibility for once.

Vacation in wisconsin dells with my sister and her family was a blast. Absolutely loved the waterparks. All those beautiful wet topless boys.. ~_~

Started my first job and finally got drivers ed out of the way. License is one of my main goals for next year.

All my beloved friends, family, and pets made it through to 2013 healthy and happy as ever. =]



Worst:



Felt for the first time the exact emotional connection I search for in a relationship with someone else... just without having the romantic side of it returned.

The forum I've been a part of for many years before my joining EC has all but fallen apart during the course of 2012. I guess I'm a bit more attached to the place than I would be any old website since it was there I met the first group of people I really felt like I belonged with. At this rate it wont last much longer which is sad cause I likely wont speak with them again after the ship goes down. And even if I do there's so many fond memories still there to be lost along with it. All of that coupled with the news of MSN being discontinued and replaced with Skype next year... ugh. It'll seem like the internet has totally changed since I first started using it. Guess what it all comes down to is I'm simply not a fan of change when it's unnecessary.

The beginning of the end of my high school career has arrived. Which is kind of a good thing at the same time in its own way. Even so I can't shake the shadow of the doubt I carry within myself that I'm just not ready yet. I still have so much more to learn about the way the world works... being a year younger than everyone else in my grade, having no set plan for secondary education when everyone else does, and above all else not even owning a drivers license doesn't help this sense of unease that I'm so much less prepared for life after school than all my friends and peers. Well at least this year I've taken the first true steps towards getting all of this sorted out. I have a permit, a bit of work experience, and the sense of responsibility I mentioned before that coming into 2012I'm sure I didn't have yet. While I was late in realising I needed to better prepare myself for the outside world; better late than never. It's not a whole lot, what I've got right now, but I'll take it over nothing at all.

 

It's been a pretty blah year for me.
