Sometimes I forget how wonderful humanity can be. In all it’s frailty and incomparable faults there is so much love, originality and beauty.

In 2011, I learned many things about myself and the people I love.

Work has shifted from something to earn money to something that brings me personal joy and a sense of accomplishment (most days). Of course this is mainly due to the fact that I work with some amazing people.

I have grown further in my romantic relationship than I ever thought I could in a lifetime let alone a year. I have found in him a confidant and a best friend as well as a member of my family and the object of my passion. I love you Paul.

There have been a great many friendships this year that have waxed and waned but I am nonetheless grateful for every second with every person.

With my changing age, maturity and stag in life I have found that the people that I once saw as authorities are now becoming friends and I am thankful for a great deal many more friends as a result.

Lastly, I have looked inside myself more this year than any before and discovered what I truly want and need. I have developed an appreciation for the innate beauty and joy in everyone, though sometimes I may ignore it. I have yet to have a year that has taught me more or that I feel like I have accomplished more both personally and outwardly.

My heart is actually bursting with love for everyone that has contributed to my life until now. I have never been mor comfortable with my self and my position in life.

So with allllllll that, my new years resolution is to try and find the joy in EVERY day I wake up and see the world for its positivity and generativity rather than its faults and setbacks.
