YAY! Wow, this really took me a while. But I'm only 5 days late! The thing is that I'm taking up journaling (again). I have a really cute 365 day journal and I really want to finish.

I'm not really a new year's resolutions type person, or maybe I used to be, but I never remember my resolutions at the end of the year anyways. I made resolutions for college which I kept pretty well, so I guess that's an accomplishment.

Mm, in summary, 2008 was an amazing year. It was probably the best year of my life. I wonder if 2009 will top it?! (We'll see, I sure hope so! ;P). I became the closest to my best friends that I've ever been...not to mention we've ventured far into unmentionable territory, and we can now officially talk about anything and everything now. I love them to death. It really sucked leaving them when college started, but I think to some degree, all of us were looking forward to going out there all on our own again and make new friends, meet new people, become independent, go someplace new, get out of NEW MEXICO.

So it was nice, being the "new" me. Not "new" like a different me. But I presented myself in the best way possible and really let my walls down, which was something I built up during high school. I became more outgoing and friendly, but still...ME. Going to college was amazing. I met a lot of new, cool people who accept me for me, but we're obviously just not at the point of talking about everything yet. And I'm in a relationship with someone that I find amazing in so many ways who accepts me for me and loves the things about me that I've fought so hard to keep. I learned about freedom and what I want. Things are just better without my parents. I don't feel so much like I need their approval for things. I really learned about what kind of decisions I would make without them monitoring me...and I learned that my decisions are pretty good compared to others with new freedom like me...


"The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to love, mad to talk, mad to be saved the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
