Hello 2009!

Wow! A whole year has gone by?! It's 12:15 am, January 1, 2009. 2008 is over and I can't believe it. I feel like 2008 has been terrific.

I've had the best and worst time of my life - good comes with some bad and that's okay, we can only learn and hope to grow. I've met some amazing people and had some amazing times, and continued on with the people that I already know. I've been through so much this year, and I'm looking forward to all of 2009 being Marie's relaxation year! I seriously need to just relax and enjoy my life for more. Live life for myself, my boyfriend, and family. To do what I want, when I want. Talk to anyone and everyone. I'm definitely thankful to be able to talk to all of my amazing friends again. I've missed them all so much. I'm happy to be good ol' Marie again.

The start of 2008 was a WOW. It was definitely a learning experience for me. Though some days things were rough, I wouldn't change what I went through for all the money in the world. It was only in December 2007 that I completely lost myself (read my archives). And even to my 4 guy bestfriends, it was like I was dead. I barely stayed in contact with any of them, and when I did, I was always upset and crying. December 2007 was the absolute darkest period of my life. I did things and thought things that I never would have. To look back on it scares me and makes me so sad. Just to think that I let myself get that way over things like that. Heh. :D

Everything that happened has definitely made me a stronger woman. Being with Hectril had let me know exactly what I want and don't want in a relationship and I was able to stand up for my right and myself and never walk away. I'm extremely proud of myself, because there were countless times I would deal with all of craziness, happiness, sadness, and joy. My boyfriend and I love each other to the extreme and was/is willing to do whatever we could to keep us together. If that meant getting nasty sms from someone we somehow know, but we don't care. So we will leave all the stress, worry, tears, all the junks, and all the negative energy behind in 2008. We will welcome the year 2009 with arms wide open. All I can do is look to the future, and hope for the best. Take control of my own life, and remember not to live for anyone else. And no matter what, those that care about me will always be there for me. No matter what.

So, HELLO 2009! And i hope everything goes good for you all this year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
