2008 was an interesting year. I feel, in many ways, like it’s far behind me, like it is a distinct and different chapter of my life entirely. It was a chapter of independence, of breakthroughs in personal honesty and truly of finding myself. This was the year that I truly came to understand who I am, who I love, and what I love.

I had an emotional breakdown tonight, which is highly ironic considering my last post. But, like all of my emotional breakdowns, it seemed to be pushed along by a little hormone called estrogen. And, also like all of my emotional breakdowns, a result of something rather important that I have chosen to ignore. Last time, it was how much more important Randy was to me than Russia, and this time it was just how much people stress me out and completely exhaust me.
