It's almost my 24th birthday. I was looking through old pictures from 2 years ago. A lot has changed in 2 years.

Rewind to 2 years ago: I was confined. Scared. I hated everyone around me. And worse, I hated myself. I yearned for that which I'd never have, and feared a grim future lie ahead. I had nothing, I was nothing.

Fast forward through: fucked over by a lot of people; kicked a lot of 'friends' to the curb; moved in with a stranger on the other side of the state; got a job, got a car! Kicked said stranger to curb.

Stop on present: I just bought a new car, 2006 Ford Fusion. Beautiful. Steady relationship, love my boyfriend of a year with all my heart. He never ceases to surprise me. All my belongings are finally in one place, and furthermore they are where I am! Going to be an aunt next year.

P.S. I figured out how to stop receiving DA updates on things I care to not know about, and people who mean nothing.
