i woke up elated

2012, how do i feel about you? so intense. i feel so intensely about you. it was a year of loss and rebuilding. all transience/learning to be present.

i have learned so. much.

then i remembered (why did it take so long? brain. get with it.) that i do have control over my life. that when i finish this degree i can move to a city that i like with people that i love. that i really can count on myself.

everything changed. i made some of the best new friends and seriously reconnected with some of the best old ones. for a couple of months there, i shone beams of love out of my chest at everything, everyone. recklessly happy. (still happening, but the beams are more directed.)

i fell in love with chicago. it took me four years, but finally. i fell so hard. with a ferociousness that words won't do justice to.

discovered that i actually like meeting new people. fell in love twice. experimented with new relationship models. discovered that talking about open relationships with people who aren't into them or haven't thought about them is really, really difficult (duh?).

i remembered that going to shows makes me the happiest being. also, riding my bike.

joined tumblr. y'all are awesome.

oh yeah, and i worked on my dissertation. i do work. right.

but okay COTDAMN, 2013, i am so ready for you. let's do this thing. i'm ready.
