The year that was and will be

Last year was nice. Not awesome, or terrible, or even remotely surprising - just nice. It was a walk in the park. As walks in the park go though, my 2009 has been straightforward and uneventful. The decisions I had to make and the things I had to do were neatly littered in a meticulously paved path in a park where hardly anything goes wrong. 

So what happened this year? I got my Political Science degree. I got a marketing job. I moved out of my parents’ house. I have my own online store which earns pretty decently. I write freelance, which earns decently as well. I’ve developed my other blog into something that people value, something I can be proud of.

All in all, it was a year of small triumphs, a year of stepping out of my comfort zone and trying - completely on my own - to make something of myself. I don’t honestly think that I’ve succeeded; I’m not delusional. It’s too early for things like that. I do think, however, that I’ve moved an inch closer to where I want to be and what I want to do. For that I’m glad.

With that said, I feel that the new year will not be a walk in the park. I know that I will have to make tough, unpredictable decisions regarding my career and personal life. This year will make or brake me, and you know what?

I’m looking forward to being made.
