So, it's been about a year since I started this little project. I'm kind of impressed that it's still going considering all the things that have happened. In 2009, I was hitting rock bottom. I had spent 2 years in a city that didn't fit. Was coming to the end of 9 years pursuing a career that sucked the life out of me. Had finally ended a 3 year long relationship with the biggest asshole I've ever really known and had found myself in another juvenile relationship that was ultimately based on nothing substantial. And had no real clue who I was or what I was doing with my life. 12 months ago I was in a downward spiral, about to hit the floor.
I've never been as low as I was last year, but how can I regret any of that after it brought me here? In the last 12 months, I have filled my life with amazing friendships, met handfuls of new and wonderful people and mentors, found a city that fits like a glove and is full of incredible opportunities, gained the courage to follow my own passion, and in the middle of all that, I have found my true, authentic self and ultimately fallen in love... with me. What a difference a year can make.
