yayyyy! the year that was definitely the most change-inducing of my entire life is over! not that it was all bad, i think that the things that happened forced me to change for the better, and that is always a good thing. i'm now going to write a list of positive things that happened last year. in no particular order. and omitting many specific details. lol.

i did more photography than ever before.
i got to go to the desert in oregon, which was an amazingly different place than any i've been to before.
i figured out how to do my hair in a way that i'm happy with.
i got to spend time with my lovely seeeestorr, although not enough for my liking.
i think i'm finally on the track to having a good, healthy, stable, emotionally supportive relationship.
i got to visit my mummy and gordon in hawaii.
i went back to school and stayed, and enjoyed it.
i became a stronger person, which influenced all my relationships for the better, i think.
my dad moved to powell river, and i think he's happier than i've seen him in a long time.
i spent some time on savary, which i really need to do more of this year.
i got an ipod.
i remembered how much i love to read.
my best friend is at a happy place in her life, and it makes me so happy for her.
i became a more confident person.
i met some amazing new people.

this has been both an amazing and very hard year for many people that i know, and to those of you who read this, i hope everything works out and you know i'll be here for when you need to talk.

love you all and have an amazing year!
