Otayso. Claire's hope thread inspired me fer this one, but I decided that it was different enough to merit a new thread.
There's this thing I do with my friends at the end of every year, and that's to look back on the year and say the best thing that happened, the worst thing that happened, what we've learned during the year, and what we intend to do differently in the next year. Sooo! I'll start!
Best Thing: Going back to school after a year away from it.
Worst Thing: Losing Kendra.
What I've Learned: Eating more isn't going to kill me. Sometimes things just suck and sometimes "good enough" is less than perfect, but that's actually okay. It isn't a bad thing to ask for help every now and then. It isn't necessary to be happy every minute of every day. And being the weird, loud, bubbly girl who hangs out with all the gay boys is a lot more fun than being a cheerleader and pretending to be normal.
What I Intend to Do Differently: Eat more, worry less, quit pushing my body so far past healthy limits and get back to the reasons I actually LIKE ballet, and start just being a teenager before I'm too old.
Sosososososo. Yeah. Your turn!

Best Thing: Meeting my dad and my brother. Going to Tuscon to stay with my uncle for three weeks. Graduating.
Worst Thing: That's too personal. Losing Wade. Finding out that I will never meet my big brother, Markie.
What I've Learned: Loss happens, and so do bad people. I have to start ignoring certain things and people that do not matter for my own good. Anti-depressants aren't going to make life better in themselves - I have to work for that. Being locked up in my house for nine months isn't going to do that, either, and it's not going to protect me from anything, it will just hurt me more. Tell the people that I love that I love them every day, because tomorrow they might not be here.
What I Intend to Do Differently: Eat less, because it's impossible to eat away my problems. Walk and get back into running a ten minute mile every day, because I need to lose weight and get in shape. Go down to Fountain's Little Violin Shop tomorrow and ask for a job, even if they have to pay me in a place to practice or music sheets. Call my dad and my brothers more often. Hang out with my mom more, because she isn't going to be around forever. Go to Wade's grave and talk to him for some closure. Live.

Best Thing: Meeting Julian and Megan, remembering how to smile and truly laugh, and being able to start over.
Worst Thing: Moving to Alaska, and having to redo a years worth of credits before graduation. Remembering Mark, and becoming poor to the point I really really need to get a job and try to mend it into my schedule.
What I've Learned: That even as the holidays come and go, I’ll be okay and survive. The wounds’ll heal in time. That moving to Alaska isn’t all bad, that I’ve met some great friends and even a really cool guy that cares for me.
What I Intend to Do Differently: Probably not whine so much, and try to avoid the stupider idiots in my school. Pray that I’ll make graduation on time, and that I can make the best of what little bit of the year we have left before starting anew. Definitely will be avoiding my valium the best I can for anxiety, and use them only when the nightmares start up again or get worse.

Best thing: hmm... Going to a nice hotel for Valentine's Day with my husband, even though I had to go to the ER at 4am due to a ruptured cyst on my ovary. That was the highlight of my year, had to think about it for a while. Worst thing: Finding out my mom has a hereditary disease that causes cysts to form on her spine and that my sister needs to take lithium. My dad over-dosed on lithium, so that kinda scares me, just a tad... Finding out my son has severe ADD and is emotionally disturbed. Getting an IUD and being in pain for 3 months. (Yes, I'm bitter, sorry if I'm depressing anyone.) What I've learned: Life sucks... and sometimes, even if you try your best, you can't make it not suck. But also, bitching about it helps but dwelling on things makes it worse. I've also learned I'm a very immature person, bitter, cold, and shallow. It's an important part of personal growth, right?  I've also learned, my relationship with my son is better than I thought... even though some people like to think otherwise. What I intend to do differently: Make my life suck less... be a better, more understanding person. Be more responsible, have a job, not smoke, exercise more... umm... hmm... I should add more to this at some point. |

Best thing: Coming home from Japan and being with my family again; also, finally meeting someone who is boyfriend/husband material and who understands me more than the other dick guys I tried to date.
Worst thing: Watching my parents go through losing the home we've been in for 8 years thanks to the loan company fucking them over (yes, I am extremely bitter about this and would like to tear some heads off) and the fact that work was extremely slow.
What I've learned: No matter the what happens, good or bad, life goes on. So long as you don't let the negative happenings in your life affect you to the point of hopelessness, there's always hope. Look up and keep going forward.
What I intend to do differently: Try to get a freaking job so I can help my parents out with the money issue, since I am living at home. Remain positive no matter what happens.

Best thing: Starting college. Meeting new people. Having a life outside of work/education for the first time in like... 5 years that stretches outside of Rob. Reuniting with my cousins, aunts and uncles from my Father's side of the family after 7 years or so.
Worst thing: Grandad passing away. Work and college taking up my weekends so I spend less time with Rob.
What I've learnt: Whenever I feel like I should get my act together and do something (contacting people, or just keeping up contact that threatens to dissipate) I should do it before it's too late. :/
What I intend to do differently: Play hard, for once, instead of just working hard.

Best Thing: Well, I guess I'll be a nerd and say Anime Boston, since I have alot of fun every time I go and I can be as goofy as I want without making people think that I'm bizarre.
Worst Thing: Realizing it's junior year and having everyone tell me that this is the year colleges look at. I really hate being stressed out about this.
What I've Learned: Life isn't fair all the time. No one wants to hear me cry, not just because it's annoying, they just don't want to see me so sad. There are people who actually want me to stick around, and care about what I do with myself. There's also no need to overreact, and I can do something about everything. I really don't suck as bad as I think I do.
What I Intend to do Differently: Be positive. Don't be so judgmental on myself and try to keep calm. Work on improving my health, physically and mentally by eating right and exercising.

Worst Thing: Realizing it's junior year and having everyone tell me that this is the year colleges look at. I really hate being stressed out about this. Really Freshman year counts for everything. ------- Best Thing: Well, there's one personal thing. And then there's the fact that I got to catch up on old times with friends from 3rd and 4th grade. Worst Thing: Being so blind-sighted by love that I actually allowed someone to get me change myself for their needs. And having a pregnancy scare. What I've Learned: If someone truly loves me as they say they do, it will be unconditional and they won't make me change for their benefit without looking at my own needs as well. What I Intend to Do Differently: Be more social during the school year. My freshman year of college was not how I wanted it to be. Annnd, I'm going to see where this on/off relationship I always seem to be running back to ends up. Probably just off again, but the friendship I have with him I will always love. So even if I'm not with this person, I'm still grateful to have 'im as a friend. edit = all the blue was annoying me. |

((None of that. Please re-read the Proboards ToS, if you've forgotten which links you can and can't post. ~.~ In the words of the boss-lady herself:
Coqui/Reena: And have them copy and paste this where I ask myself that it be removed. No porn. He should know better. ))

There's also minors here.  Not to mention that website is a complete invasion of privacy and I'm pretty sure it has to be breaking some sort of law. |

It is actually. Defamation, or something like that?

I've also learned, my relationship with my son is better than I thought... even though some people like to think otherwise.
