It is difficult for me to go back and read all of my blog and journal entries from 2013. My life has not lacked any kind of excitement or major events thus far, and 2013 definitely did not disappoint.
2013 has been a year that I can officially label as "whiplash". I have had emotions on every part of the spectrum; some on the fantastic end and some on the devastating end.
My life has had many meaningful moments and events this year; some good, some bad. Things like getting extremely close to a group at my college, having a roommate move out on rough terms, having my best friend move in, Rachelle and I finally getting to live together for a few months. Earning my Bachelor's degree, switching jobs multiple times, getting my first career job and now taking a big step forward in that career. Having extremely significant people leave my life, as well as having someone very significant come back and then leave for the second time. My grandmother passed away, which rocked me more than I ever could have expected. I made a handful of awesome friends at my new company, my nephew was born, and I started to make decisions for myself in a healthy way for the first time.
2013 has been a lot, and there is so much to talk about. And yes, this is all cliche, seeing that it is the end of the year and a new year is starting, etc. But I have been crazy blessed with an awesome job that I will be starting in just a couple short weeks. I am moving to a new city in a month, and even if it is just 30 minutes away, things are going to change. I am turning 23 years old this year, which still totally blows my mind.
I am excited to shake off 2013 and step into 2014 with my head held high. Life is good, and I am grateful to have even another day to be here.
