Nearing The End of Yet Another Year

2011 is almost over with 2012 right around the corner. Have you ever really just set back & took the time to reflect on the past year of your life, or just your whole life in general, & thought about what your most proud of, thankful for or regret? I can bet that 90-95% don't, either because they don't give a shit, or would rather forget everything that went on. Me personally, I thought about it last night, which has led me to give you this blog about shit you won't even care about.

So over the past year, year & a half, I've lost & gained some friends & family members. I've started & lost jobs & school. You name it, with my luck it's probably happened. Let's start off with the family portion shall we. I no longer have any contact with my biological dad, my youngest sister or my 4 younger brothers, all due to my dads stupidity. If you know me personally, you know the story & know that his stupidity just gets stronger every year. I did however come in contact with my grandma's brother ( my great uncle), which we never knew existed until April of this year. It's funny how you can have family that you never knew about and then feel like you've known them forever once you meet.

This year I've lost contact with a few friends, due to disagreements, or just plain lazyness on both parts. Either way, I've manage to come in contact with a couple new ones, and have managed to stay in contact with a few that matter the most. That being the ones who have seen me at my worst, know all the shit that has went on, yet still decide to keep me around.

I've started a new job this month, yet it's only suppose to last through Christmas and then once again chances are I'll be back to the drawing board. I've went through a total of three schools the past year, but I think I've finally found one that will stick around long enough for me to actually finish the program. Like they say, third times a charm... right?

The only things that have remained constant in my life & that I've thankful for, are my daughter, my mom & dad, a very few family members and the few friends that I've stated above (they know who they are). Without all of them, I would've probably went completely insane already. Luckily for me, they're all what keeps me living, laughing, and enjoying the few things in life that I have.

So, that's my summary of 2011. Trust me there is alot more that I could say on a couple of these issues, but then you'd be reading for at least a good 5 hours. I leave you with this: What is the use of living life, if you can't overcome the obstacles & enjoy what you have instead of dwelling on the past & things that you can not change?
