What About Me?

I'm a writer. End of story. Actually, the beginning, but close enough. I discovered my talent around the age of 12 though I did not fully put it to the test until my sophmore year of high school. It was an English teacher who recognized my talents and help me push to be better. I took a poetry class in college that opened my eyes up to the world of poetry. I learned many forms, as well as exercised them. August 13, 2007: a day that has changed me forever. You see, I lost my best friend that day; 14 years gone and all I'm left with is memories. With that being said, my writing went MIA for three years, and now, it's SO much different then what it used to be. Take it or leave it; you need my words in your life.

2010

As I sit here in the final minutes of 2010, I find it a bit cliche that I am reflecting on the year.  Yet, I am almost certain that there are MILLIONS of other people who are or have done the same.  I must say, 2010 defined my year as an adult. 

I went from just going to school and smoking and working, to doing all those things but actually having a social life.  Granted, it wasn't much of one, but I went out more often, had beers on more than one occasion just because, and engaged in older adult interaction (whereas now it's legit to be 23 and talk intelligently with a 50 year old). 

I also started at UNM, and if their education program didn't suck so bad, I'd stay there.  Granted, it's all she said, he said b/s from NMHU but I know many transfers from UNM so I don't doubt it.  But so far, English is legit.

I also moved out, failed, moved back home, and I gotta say, so far so good.  But I do realize my failure is due to my actions, but hey, I'm sure we've all done that once too.

Fall of 2010 brought forth a new, shall we say, discovery.  Many claim to have known all along, but I finally realized it.  It's not to it's full potential that everyone always thought it was, but it's there; a thought that I shall freely admit when brought up in a conversation the third-party initiates.  But, seeing how I am just in the testing phase, there is no need to express my non-sexual hypothesis.

And, FINALLY, after 3 years of being in the dark, my writing has woken up and taken a different road.  I am fine with it.  I am just happy to be writing again!  My lonliness now has company!

With that, I conclude 2010.  AM I GLAD YOU'RE GONE!

I welcome 2011 with open arms, and open mind, and I really do plan on making a difference this year and getting some of my writing out there.

CHEERS TO ALL IN 2011.. Let's really make it a year!
