WHERE DID THE YEAR GO??
Like seriously. I mean it doesn't even feel like that time has gone by. But it has. Now most people look back on all the stuff that happened to them in the past twelve months and I am going to be cliche and go along, but.... with a twist. ;) So, without further adieu, MY "THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN 2013" LIST! :D
THING #1: ACTUALLY MAKING IT TO 2013. As some of you know, last year I tried to end my life. I didn't care what happened to me. But somehow time went on, and here I am. And it may have been an uphill battle, but it was worth it. <3 p="">
THING #2: RECOVERY. As some of you know (If you've been following me in the past 16 months! :) that at the start of this year I was still majorly depressed and self-harming. But somehow... I've reached the point where I am considered, "recovered." It's been... oh my god it's been TEN MONTHS since I last cut. I FEEL again. And not like either anger or numb, I feel EVERY emotion again. I'm not AFRAID of them. I'm better, and I didn't even realize it until June. It's been amazing.
THING #3: MET MY IDOLS. I can't put it in a short paragraph, so just read this.
THING #4: I ATTEMPTED TO DATE. :P Yeah.... Shortly after I relapsed I made a new friend online, and then a couple of days after the fire in West, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes, and from there it was bliss. At least until my mom found out. Then it kinda went downhill... :/ I'm single again. BUT! Despite what everyone says, in my mind it was a valid relationship, so Xp To anyone who says otherwise. (And that Xp is my 14-year-old self's version of a tongue sticky-outy emote.)
THING #5: CAME OUT TO MY FRIENDS ABOUT MY STRUGGLES. This is one of the more recent things actually. It had to happen. I mean if I ever intended to make a complete recovery, I had to. It went over really well though. They all learned something. One girl was moved to tears when I read my story. I get to do the presentation I did for them again in February. The only thing I wish was different was that my former best friend had been there.
THING #6: I BECAME AN ADULT!!!!!! :D:D:D Yes yes, I turned 18 this year. I didn't do much to celebrate, but I spent the day on my phone with my friends. I guess that's how adults celebrate birthdays? :P I dunno.
THING #7: THIS BLOG. Oh my god guys, we've soared to new heights here. We started the year at, what? a little over 1,000 views all time? We've QUADRUPLED that. We're almost at 5,000 views! :D
Okay enough about this year. Let's discuss my goals for next year.
REACH 10,000 VIEWS. And that all depends on you guys. :) You are some of the most awesome people. YOU are the ones who stuck by me. The ones who have been able to see this story unfold. Not that anyone else can't go back and reread it all. It's just... You know how important you are. :) And I thank every single one of you.
SAVE MORE PEOPLE. Something good has to come from all that suffering. I have the power to save a life here. I know the power my story could have. I've seen the impact one story has. and with my Gold Award I can educate, inspire, and save, just by giving someone two hours of my time. And I want to do that.
FINISH SCHOOL. I'm a bit behind at the moment, but once I finish, I can do anything! :D I want to go to college, become a political journalist, work for Fox News Network, maybe expose the liberal radicalists for what they are.....
FIND LOVE AGAIN. Even if it failed the first time, it was so magical, how could I not want to try dating again? I want it so bad....
And that is this year in review! Please comment, follow/subscribe (There's an email thing around the page somewhere... ;) And SHARE! I love you all and have a happy new year!
