At the beginning of this year I thought my life was falling apart. I had a lot of things happen to me all at once that really set my self-worth back. A friend killed herself while the person I thought was the love of my life entered into an arranged marriage and left me after we had been together for 2 years.
The betrayal I felt with each of these events were devastating and it took me forever to drag myself out of that suffocating hole of despair. By summer, things began to change. I met a special person who I've been dating. I've made new friends and I've been working hard at my studies in school (Senior year of college). All this is paying off for me. I am happy with my life.
I have a jar that sits on my desk filled to the brim with slips of paper, event tickets, and other miscellaneous items. It has everything good that has happened to me this year and I can't wait to open it up on New Year's Eve and see all the wonderful things I've accomplished in 2013.
It's been a pretty good year, but I won't miss it at all. That's because I can't wait for the future and what it has in store for me. Some parts may be hard but I'll get through them. I've already proved to be a strong person and I'm going to fight for what I want.
