Yes folks the time has finally come. It is a new decade, the beautiful 2010. As for what's to come in the future, who knows, but I must say I'm rather excited. Time passes by so quickly doesn't it? So much has, and hasn't, happened this past year.

To be honest I'm not quite sure exactly what happened this year. My life has changed in many ways yet at the same time remained relatively constant. I no longer have to work two jobs having finally rid myself of Kohl's heavy chains. Yet still I have trouble finding free time as my life continues to be consumed by work and school. I am still making my way slowly through college and unsure of where the future will lead me. Yet I feel oddly calm and at peace with it all, though I often wish I could be back down in San Diego.

I think I've been quite lucky this year, and all my life in fact. Lucky in the sense that I am surrounded by amazing people and live in a decent environment. Even though I have given up certain relationships this year I feel as if I've managed to learn a lot more about myself and grow as a person. I am no life guru, by any means, but if anything I am at least one step further down the path to maturity. Maybe. In truth I feel this has been a relatively selfish year on my part and as to whether that's a good or bad, who knows.

There is, of course, still a lot of things out there. A lot more places to see, people to meet and things to learn. But that's what makes the prospect of tomorrow so exciting no? But I don't want to get too far ahead of myself so I guess I'll just have to settle for what I have right now, right here. [;

Cheers to two thousand and ten! Let's make this new decade even better then the last.
