So it’s been a really long time since I’ve actually taken the time to write a blog post, but here we go.
2011 is coming to a close. So much has changed for me this year. The biggest change (besides graduating from college) has been in my group of friends. This time last year I didn’t know most of the people that I now consider my closest friends, or if I did know them, I didn’t know them very well. 2011 started off with me meeting a whole new group of people and now I can’t imagine my life without them. Even my best friend, who I feel like I’ve known forever, is someone I met back in January. The group of my closest friends that I talk to now is definitely not the same as it was then.
This change in friends was both my biggest blessing in 2011 and my biggest problem. The first half of the year was wonderful, but the second half brought some really tough challenges in dealing with one person in particular. Unfortunately, I haven’t handled them very well and have spent most of the last part of this year very unhappy. Even now, as I type this, I’m having to deal with one of those challenges.
Another thing I’m going to have to deal with is starting a new chapter in my life. This will be hard because I had finally adjusted to college life, and now it’s over. It’s scary, but I know I can make it with God’s help.
My goal in 2012 is to be happier. I’m so tired of being unhappy. I need to learn better coping skills I guess. I also need to learn to be happy with myself, which has been something I’ve really been struggling with the last half of this year.
Sorry this has been long, but I wanted to share some thoughts. Hope 2012 is one of your best years yet!
