I have been just about to write 2012 for so many days, I am ready for this next year, so ready. 2011 was a year for me. It was a year for goodbyes. really difficult goodbyes. It was a year where so many experiences felt off, like something was missing. It was a year where the life I had planned fell by the wayside and I was forced to forge a new path. It was a year for new adventures, for finding my way at a brand new job and then realizing I didn’t have to have to just find my way, but I could kick ass at New Job and realize this is what I’ve been looking for all these years.
2011 was for 2 months in England and realizing that I am very ok on my own, but that finding kindred spirits on a different continent really make travel, and my life, just a bit more fun. 2011 was also for realizing that as I’ve grown up I have know what I need and what I want and that my friends are just, exactly that.
In 2011 I missed so many things. I missed birthdays and anniversaries and bridal showers and nights that were really important to people I love. I realized this year that my job can be unforgiving, that my travel plans are often unchangeable, but I can make lunches happen, I can make cocktails happen and whenever I am home, I will spend that time with my people. I have learned this year that I cannot promise quantity but I can certainly focus on quality.
2011 was a year of big changes and big adventures of moving on and falling hard. Cheers to the end 2011 and the start of the best year yet.
