The year past

Looking back on 2009 I feel contempt and excitement. Contempt for the childish way I acted and excitement for the way I plan to change for the new year. After attending GSA over the summer I felt like a hugely changed person. Being in that kind of community and then being torn from it back into the real world was like getting slapped upside the face with lackluster. My life felt empty and cold outside of that community and looking back on it to this day leaves me wanting. After a long stay in my room alone following the weeks I spent at GSA, I decided to reform many things in my life. A few months after that I got a steady job, I started working towards college, and now I'm facing the new year. All of the changes I plan to make are under way and I feel like this may be one of the best years of my life.
