..in the beginning

I began this as a half-assed, whole-hearted way of finding myself. I've always been a strong, independent woman. I knew who I was. I knew what I wanted. I knew what I liked and what I disliked. I lost all of that in a cliche.

It's not that the relationship was bad. And I don't blame him for it. On the contrary, I totally blame myself. The relationship took place during a time when my whole world was changing anyway - I was changing. From the ages of 23 to 26.

But, that's a story for another time. I'm starting 2009 off fresh. Not with new years resolutions, but with life resolutions. After evaluating these past few months, I've developed a list. Since somewhere around October, I've been working on these. In no particular order, they are:

1. stop the crazy
2. remember my friends
3. stop taking things out on other people
4. (apparently was) shop shop shop
5. no more shopping
6. get over being single and deal with it
7. read more
8. do things for me
9. don't go out with people i don't like

Should be quite a ride.
