Now that the year is half over, I find the need to check in with myself. I had big expectations of myself this year. The last few years I have felt were great and what not, but they weren’t all that balanced… for better or for worse.
2008 had been all about my personal life, both fantastical (I obtained my Masters degree before I turned 24, a goal since I was in middle school) and terrible (I left Joe, or really fled was more like it, and moved back to a place I hated just to get away). The last few months of 2008 had been all about healing after Joe, because after everything, I still felt I loved him. When I left it wasn’t that I wanted to, but something I had to do. Being an adult means doing the right thing and what you need for yourself, regardless of what you want. (Yes, sometimes it sucks, but I believe if you do this it will work itself out for the better, in the end.) But from the very first month of 2009, I had come to be in a good place with myself, my decision and my uncertain future.
