2012 Wrap Up pt.1

"Sometimes, I go on a rant and I write things when the emotions are the most raw and prevalent. I find these times to be the most insightful because they give you a glimpse at someone else's psyche. It proves to you that they are just like you, even though you've already made up your mind of who this person was." -Anonymous


I'm going to start off by being completely blunt:
        This year proved to me that those that I called my best friends, are or can be, unfortunately and predictably, my closest enemies. Friendship is a two way street and as long as one feels animosity towards the other, the bridge burns. The problem is that people expect so much from friendship; people come and go, you just have to keep moving forward without ever looking back at the ashes you once cherished. I'm not going to say "oh next year's going to be different. NEW YEAR, NEW ME", because it's bull. I'm not going to change, I'm just going to make changes. No more TRYING to keep friendships alive. If you want me around, you need to make the same effort I am. If it's not working, it's not working. Things go bad and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not going to keep up appearances for anyone I feel isn't worth my time. I hate to say it, but when I done with you, you're out. There's no such thing as second chances with me. It's either you're with me, or you're without me; no ifs, ands, or buts about it. A new year to me means spring clean up of my social interactions.

2012 Wrap Up pt.2

So let's get real: I didn't do ANY of what I said I was going to do this year.
  • "I'm going to be nicer." Fought more hoes than I did last year. But hell, don't shake, unless you're ready to get shook.
  • "I'm going to work out and really make a difference. I'd like to be one step closer to my goal." I mean, does walking PAST my treadmill count? Also, I am one step closer.........to type 2 diabetes. I've tried, but McDonald's just keeps reeling me in, that's my main, can't help it.
  • "I'm going to be a panda."........................okay, Science hasn't exactly taken the necessary steps I had hoped they would have taken by now for me to achieve my dream, but eventually, they will...and I'll be waiting.

        But seriously, 2012 was one of the craziest years I've ever experienced. It was definitely the year of Love and War, because it was either friendship and good times, or boxing gloves on like Donkey Kong. Yes, I did find what some would consider love, but it wasn't the love I had hoped for, BUT I'm young and I have many, countless years ahead of me, if God permits.
       
        I can also say that I've continued to persevere through everything I've had to deal with this year. I accomplished some things that I would never have attempted if not for my confidence. Hell, so what if I didn't get rich quick or become a panda or a cupcake or.........okay, note to self: serious body dysmorphic disorder. Yay. But this year was the start of something new. A fire within me (no, not the McDonald's) has been sparked and I'm going to ride out the fire for as long as it burns within me, which I hope is forever. I mean, I don't want to work hard and be passionate about my dreams and such, then one day, eh, I'm going back to bed, does McDonald's deliver?

Well, this isn't very long, because most of what went down this year I feel shouldn't be included in a blog post. One day when I'm in Congress, I wouldn't want this to haunt me now, would I? Except the panda part, I want them to know where I stand, what my values are.
