It's been a while so...

Just thought I'd post a little something. 

My goal to start reading more...didn't work.

My goal to start drawing more...didn't work.

My goal to learn to cook...didn't work. 

:(

But that's okay because I've decided that today is a new start.

I WILL make something out of nothing, and

I will NOT let the little things bring me down anymore.

I have to find my ambition, find my passion, 

find the love I once had for life.

So I'm basically finished with my 

junior year of high school. What have

I accomplished? Little to nothing.

Now, I'm rushing to finish huge

semester projects, and counting down

the days until I have to make some big

decisions. 

So my manly man is leaving for AIT in less than a month. :(  I'm really sad to see him go.  We've been together nearly 10 months now and it's harder to see him leave than it was last year.  He'll be gone about 2 months which means...he won't be here for our one year anniversary.  I guess it seems a little trivial, but it still gets me down when I think about it.  I think I'm going to make a quilt for him while he's gone.  Right now I'm planning on a Log Cabin pattern in greys and blacks with a dark red center piece. Oh and I think I'll actually [my mother is doing the happy dance as she reads this] quilt by hand because it just seems more personal. 

So for my Closing Thought:

I have to make myself a happier person.

No one will do it for me.

Goals need to be recognized and accomplished,

not just made and ignored.

Today is my second chance to make things better.
