That’s how many pages of my journal are filled.
I think that’s the most I’ve written, ever…
Why is that? How is this year different for any other year?
I didn’t even have a resolution to write in my journal, at least not like previous years.
The first page of my journal on January 3rd, 2011 reads this,
“So, my first entry isn’t on January 1st, but that doesn’t bother me. I want to write in this journal when something worth remembering comes along: Like when I’m hurt, because I’ll learn from it. Or when a guy actually sweeps me off my feet, because I’m too stubborn to admit it to anyone but myself. This journal isn’t meant for daily activity. I’m actually kind of hoping this journal acts as a happy memory when I’m older. But, if I’m going to be honest, I’m not expecting much from 2011 at all… except happiness. I don’t need to say things like, “I want a boyfriend” or “a year that’s better than all the ones prior”, because is that REALLY what matters? I’ve grown up a lot this past year, and I hope to continue to do so. I think my biggest aspiration is to be the best version of myself. I can do it. But other than that, I think the rest of my year will just fall into place.
Big things will happen in 2011.”
80 pages later and here I am.
I think my life has fallen into place. I’m happy about how everything is going.
It’s just interesting that I can read myself picturing how my year will go… now that it’s almost finished.
