This was the first year I've been single. The first whole year. I've gone through an elevated feeling of awesome, to crippling depression, back to awesome. Overall I've been so much happier this year than recent years prior, and it's been an amazing journey so far.

I've rekindled lost friendships, found a few new friends and haven't really lost any that are worth remembering. I reconnected with my family, which has been a monumental achievement to me, as I never thought we'd be able to reconcile. Mostly because of Sus, but with him out of the picture I've finally been free to do all the things I've wanted. I moved out of my parent's house and into an apartment that I love with a roommate that I am close friends with.

I started a new position at my work, I got my AA degree, I paid off my debt, I did my first river float, I saw the East Coast. 2013 was a very good year for me. Of course I had little emotional hells here and there, but that's really to be expected, so I'm not really counting those in the final tally. No major trauma's occurred this year, nothing horrible that I can remember happened. Either that means this year rocked, or I just have the shittiest memory ever.

I'm closer now to the person I want to be than ever before. I have good feelings about 2014, I feel like this is going to be the year for a lot of people.

I hate making resolutions, because I feel like they are gimmicky and no one ever really achieves them. But I do want to approach 2014 with more optimism, open-mindedness and a go-with-the-flow attitude. I would like to stop taking my anti-depressant pills too.

Here's to the hope that everyone had a safe new year's eve, and their year upcoming is filled with awesome and happy.
