It is surprising how much can change in a year. I have lost a cousin that was 19. I have been single for over a year. My ex-bf and I started talking again. I have lost friends and made new ones. I have been thankful for everyone I have met even if we no longer talk or barely said two words to eachother. Everyone has an impact. I am stronger emotionally and weaker at the same time. I have very few good friends that I still talk to but they mean the world to me. If I have learnt anything this year it is that nothing can be controlled and there are no guarentees. You take everyday and you do what you need to do and you move on through life. Happy Holidays to all.
