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 wasn’t always right, and I’m still probably wrong or slightly off on a few things now, but I at least grew closer from where I was before.
