Good riddance, 2011
Dec. 31st, 2011 07:29 pm Well, we're reaching the final hours of 2011 where I'm sitting- the grand old timezone called Eastern Standard, and I can't help thinking back on the past twelve months. Lets face it, they sucked. Of course, they sucked more for millions of other people more than it sucked for me. I live in a place that was completely untouched by natural disasters, which is a Very Good Thing. There were no violent retaliations to protests where I live, also a Very Good Thing. For that, I'm thankful.
Things I am not thankful for-
Things I am not thankful for-
- A quickly worsening job situation because of horrible office politics which eventually led to my no longer working there.
- This also led to a souring relationship with my stepmother, who was also my boss (bad idea? yeah, I know)
- Increased anxiety, almost to the point of it keeping me from socializing completely
- Long-distance relationship stress dissolving a six-year-long relationship with my boyfriend.
- At least in this case, we communicate in much the same way, so that's a plus.
- Family members having to endure cancer treatments in the past year. They're doing well, but it's terrifying.
