2009
A little birdie reminded me that it’s a new year. Where did the writing go?
Well, it went the way of Warcraft. Drama has been queen over there, and friends have dropped like flies. I was – and still am – hurt and disappointed at what turned out to be their serious misappropriation of priorities. But my life is my own and I took it elsewhere.
Little could I guess that I’d formed actual affection for those currently in our floundering guild. Something about waiting and waiting and waiting, together, must do that to you. So, as a group now, we are taking it elsewhere and looking for a new guild home. We are on the precipice of something… big.
The drama went flying on the very first day of this year. Not an auspicious beginning. However, the way that we lived through it does impress upon me greatly that it is not always that earthquakes won’t suck your house into the void, it is what you do after it happens that really matters.
And on that note, I have high hopes for the coming year. I feel a completely different person than the girl you first met blogging umpteen years ago. I see persons, where once I only saw labels and assumptions and you “shoulds.” I feel love, where once I mistook misplaced loyalty and guilt-ridden demands for the real deal. I know joy, where once I was all duty.
Yeap, 2009 looks good to me because I feel more alive than I ever have.
Peace.
