And in today, already walks tomorrow.

It's 2012. Finally. Not that I disliked 2011, I really loved everything about 2011. I learned more about myself last year than I ever thought I would.   I learned that I'm more capable of what I think I am. I learned that my capacity to love is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Most of all, I learned to be a woman instead of a girl. But knowing that, I know I can learn just as much if not more in the next 365 days. 


In 2011, I found the most amazing friends and family. Found--as in--yes, I met new people, but I want to use the verb in a different sense. I came to find out how insanely incredible my "old" friends are. From that good group of friends I had growing up, my true friends emerged and nestled their way into my life forever. Putting them on top of everyone I've met in college, it's incredible. I'm really loving this "having two lives" thing. And then of course my family. I've gotten so much closer to my sisters, and for sure more than I've ever been with my cousins; it's such a blessing. (If you ever have the chance to live with cousins--do it!) 


In 2012, I'm excited to find out who else I'm going to meet. Everyone I want in my life right now, is in my life. And it's time to add more. It's always time to add more. I think the best life in the world would be to meet at least one new person a day. That's my goal for the first couple weeks of the semester, actually. If I did it longer, I'd feel annoying, so I'm just sticking with the first little bit. Anyway, I know that come December 31, 2012, I'll have even better things to say about the past year. 


I really have never been more excited for what's to come. I know exactly how I want to spend my time. But, the beauty of it, is everything I want to do, probably won't happen. Because it will be replaced with something better. 


So, moral of the story: Even if the Mayans aren't correct, this year will still go out with a bang.
