2013 In Retrospect
12 years ago
We pen our fate to the parchment of time...
The year is coming for a close (Or has come to a close for some of you!) and I wanted to just take a moment and reflect on the past year.
It's been a rough year for me and those close to me. I've seen people I truly love and care about go through some rough and emotional situations. I've seen friends laugh and cry and I've seen friendships grow and end. I can't say I always made the best decisions this last year but I did try my best; and I've done my best to keep my friendships strong. Unfortunately friendships come and go and some have moved on. I wish those people well in life and I am deeply honored you kept me close for as long as you did!
My biggest change in life this year was moving from California to Texas. I didn't know how I'd feel about it. I was scared, nervous, and stressed. Work had been driving me insane, along with struggles of people close to me, and being away from Bass, it wasn't easy. I had definitely slipped into a live day-to-day kind of mode and escaping from the stresses of reality whenever I could. I know it wasn't the smartest thing in the world and in retrospect I would have handled some of those situations differently. However, I don't dwell on the mistakes of the past and am trying my best to learn from them.
I will say that living in Texas has been a pleasant surprise. I had never driven that far before and I had a lot of fun seeing the country with Bass. I'll always have some wonderfully fond memories of Flagstaff Arizona and the expanse that is New Mexico! I've made some wonderful friends here in Texas, and of course I miss my friends in California. Just because I moved doesn't mean those friendships end, in my opinion at least, and I will maintain them as best I can!
Anyway, it's kind of a rambling journal. I don't really know why I wanted to say these things, only that putting it down on digital paper feels good. I've made some great decisions and some awful ones. For those of you who've helped me through this rough time of my life, thank you. I couldn't have done it without you! For those of you I may have accidentally burned without realizing it, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to.
Anyway, here's to 2014 and adventure!
