I made no mistakes, as there are no such things.
I also do not plan anything, as there are no such things as well.
So basically I continue living and if not, I am dead.

 

mistakes? um all sorts but why go over them again?

successes? I changed my mind. And I found myself again.

 

What I have done has lead me here... peace with myself is worth such hardship and mistakes

I only wish to become a better person in the next, well, rest of my life... this next year is only tomorrow.

 

I just like to reflect It's therapeutic.

 

Reflection is a path to advancement

 

Hate to be the letdown but um, PA pretty much sucks. I've seen most of it and I'll tell ya, don't waste your time. There are much better places to see. I live here only because I haven't been able to get out of here. Its mostly old people, no opportunities for people my age and pretty much shit. At least the western half anyways. Can't speak for the eastern side as I don't go there frequently enough to make a decision. But FYI Philly is a shithole. Been there done that.

 

I am sorry that you are so miserable. I am quite happy

 

Ehh, PA is just PA... better states and worse states. I'm in eastern PA though... different world a big from the west.

 

way different from what I've heard.

 

Successes- Had my first date with my fiance, landed a job in upper management, got two great dogs, moved away from San Diego to get married and in the process kicked drug habits, finally after 3 years of trying passed Adavanced Spanish-the last class I needed to graduate-so I got my degree
it has been an amazing year

 

Oh an for 2008 I hope to:
Get married (We plan to on Valentine's day)
eat a cleaner diet so I am more mentally healthy and can lose one dress size
get pregnant or be ready to get pregnant (be able to not drink, off all meds etc)
Be confident enough to be ready to quit my job for when we move
Make at last one close friend here
Find a decent club to go to when Andy is gone that is neither ghetto nor hickish, but rather reminiscent of San Diego.
Oh and learn how to ski
Learn all of the stitches in crocheting
get the roof racks to my car
Oh Oh oh and take our honeymoon this summer when I can finally get time off

 

This question seems easy, but really is so complicated.

 

mistakes-
stopped therapy


successes -

got back into swimming and have done extremely well.
got stronger
got back on the road to mentally and emotionally healing by going back to therapy
did well in my classes

for 2008 -

continue to get stronger

I regret not napping till 2008.
