Like every year, I am at a loss for words about the year that has been. It has been a very good year. I had suffered a lot, as always, but I had learned a lot from it.

This year, I had opened new doors for myself spiritually. I'm not where I want to be yet, but this year has taken me from godless to otherwise thanks to my experiences, a lot of reading, and the people I have met. Let's leave it at that. :)

Also this year, I went back to school. It has been great! Not only has my brain received its long-denied stimuli, but I had learned a great deal about myself, especially as an aspiring writer. I also have had the pleasure of being blessed with the most unconventional but AMAZING professors who have shared their knowledge and wisdom the best they can.

I am proud to say that I had managed to live a pretty healthy life, even if it has happened mostly in the last few months of the year. I had cut back smoking a great deal, I went back to doing yoga, and I have been sleeping better. I have switched from coffee to tea although I still appreciate espresso on my really bad days.

This year I had fallen in and out of love a lot of times. Ha. Well, what is life without love? :)

I think the best part about this year is that I got to live a bohemian life. Music and literature have always been important parts of my life, but this year they were more so. In music, I had learned that listening is just as fun as performing. As for literature, I had learned that writing is probably more fruitful than reading. I have been as unconventional as usual, but I guess I had been so with more confidence that it was what I wanted.

Last year for my year-end entry, I made a toast to living for the moment. This year, I make a toast for the future:

May the next year bring with it the strength to do what we must, the courage to do what we want, and the perseverance needed for us to keep trying.

Have a great year, everybody.
