Well 2009 is almost here, and let me tell you. 2008 has been one of the worst years I have ever experienced. I don't say that just to be able to go "omg -cry- my life sucks." , because my life doen't suck, I fail, but I'm not a failure. I say that 2008 was the worst years of my life because truly, it HAS been. I almost lost my best friend, I had a potentially deadly reaction to a medication, another medication I took dropped me to the point that I was experiencing life as if I had just had a major concussion, I was doing horribly in school DUE to that medicine, I found out my brother has practically no faith in me and doesn't support me, Toda passed away, my cousin was hit by a car, my teachers stopped cooperating, I was failed in a class because of a teacher's incompetence, I became sicker than I have ever been before, I'm 3 months behind in school and losing hope, and my parents have lost another small portion of my trust.
Right there I listed all of the bad things that have happened, but I can't say that 2008 has been bad event after bad event. It seems that way sometimes, but then I realize that I witnessed a LOT of things this year. I went to Washington D.C. and saw my family's graves, and saw a touching event at the Vietnam Memorial. I witnessed the first African American to ever win a Presidential Election, I became friends with an awesome person (Sara), and I made it through Drumline training without dropping dead. Oh, and I'm alive. That's always good.
I've thought about it though, and have decided that 2008 has literally sucked. Usually my attitude to a passing year is "That wasn't so bad *shrug*;"
But I'm going to say 2008 was the worst year of my life, because hopefully if I say that, 2009 will be a lot better.
So, New Year, I welcome you. Bring it.
