Downtown, where your life's a mess...

[mercat]

I just spent a good chunk of time rereading about a year's worth of past entries, and I have to say... With all that's happened in the past year, I haven't changed a lot, and yet I have. I am still a person who loves life, but now I love people a lot more, too, and I am justafiably more comfortable with who I am, and what I'm becoming. I can look back on everything this year and say, it's been a long trip, but it's worth it. And even though it's been so much work this year, if none of it had happened, I probably wouldn't care as much as I do now, and I know that if I didn't learn anything, I would be completely and utterly angry with myself.

So. I am proud to be who I am, and no one can take that from me, ever again. There's something else to be said, but now is not thr right time, and I don't know exactly how to say it anyway.

I must only say that no one gives enough credit to hope anymore.
