I don’t know where to begin even thinking about 2011. This has honestly been the shortest year of my life - so short I almost feel as though I skipped it completely, and yet so much happened. 

I went through some of my old posts and journal entries (click images for original posts):

I can’t imagine a better way to start off the new year. The movie was fantastic (even if it shouldn’t have been dubbed), seeing MatsuKen and Nino was freaking amazing, and (my favorite part) I got to meet Misato, who I now consider one of my closest friends. I can’t believe I’m only met her in person once…

Our never-dying tradition of getting a Reese’s sundae from Baskin Robbins and sharing it and taking a picture with the spoons sticking out like bunny ears.

It might be silly for me to include this, but this was an important part of this year to me :)

My birthday is always fun, but for some reason I cherish this one so much. And especially this moment. I find it difficult to express how much I love these girls.

And Spring Break was just amazing in general.

India won the World Cup ♥

I can’t wait to meet her again.

I graduated O_O

I said goodbye to San Diego :’(

This album came out too :D

Another friend I can’t wait to see again.

I’d rather not write down what I wrote in my journal, but I do want to say this…it surprises me to realize how passionately I wanted to do something at the beginning of the year - and that I still want to do it just as passionately now. Seeing that my desires haven’t changed, I’m more convinced than ever that it’s the right thing for me to do.

I honestly don’t know if I’ve developed as a person. In some ways, toward the end of the year, I felt like I regressed a bit, but I’m working on it - trying to become someone I’d like to be friends with. :)

And, there’s one thing I’m absolutely certain of in 2012. I can’t wait until it comes around.

2012, I’m going to make you good.

Happy New Year, everyone!
