New York Minute

Sometimes I think that Don Henley is right, everything does change in a New York minute. As the year draws to close, i still can believe there's only 5 days left to the year. This year flew by so quickly that it felt like a minute, and I can't believe how much my life has changed this year. I said at the beginning of the year that this was gonna be a year of sweeping life changes. It was the first time in a long time that I actually went through with one of my new year's resolutions. Usually I quit on the first or second day.

I guess what I realize as the year draws to close I realize I should give some thought to what I want to accomplish this year. I realize this past year I grew a lot on a emotional and personal level. I want to continue that, and this coming year I need to make a more conscious effort to achieve that. Last year it kinda just happened. Also, I've realized that I'm ready to move on and I think I'm finally ready to think about dating and perhaps even a relationship. I finally realized in order for that work I'm gonna have to be more emotional expressive to whoever I'm in a relationship with. It can be difficult for me at times because for so long I've been emotionally on my own. The ex never cared for me to be emotionally expressive, so I guess I just adapted and became very emotionally inward. It got to the point to where it just felt like it was the way it was supposed to be. But I think I'm finally ready that if it's the right person and they are willing to be a little patient with me. Actually I think it would be nice to finally be with someone that actually cares about my emotions.
