To whom it may concern,
Sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been slightly busy. Working way too much and spending too much money on things I really don't need. I'm glad though, because I'm having fun. And I'm learning a lot, I think my new job has inspired me to grow up a lot, move on from things I held on to. Inappropriate fears, aches and pains are gone. New ones are there, but they aren't petty or childish, more realistic, fears of how I'm going to get where I want to be in 10 years, and whether I really will make it there.
Again, I'm going to take about my mistakes.
I'm not a virgin, I'm not perfect, I'm not always clean and tidy, I don't always look after the things I should, I don't always put the right people first, I sometimes make stupid decisions, but that's the story of every teenager, I've decided that in my own eyes, and in certain other people's eyes, that I should never change, because if I did, no one could love me for who I am, because I wouldn't know who it was. I've lost a lot in the last few months. Very important people to me have been and gone, and people have left footprints in my memories that will never be forgotten. I've been in the ghetto, I've been Peter Pan's Wendy, I've been the new girl and I've been the bitch who stole him. I've been through a lot of stages this year that I'm glad to be over and done with. But there are memories here, things I will treasure forever. 2009 was a real fuck up for me following 2008, but I've pulled the pieces together to start again, properly, in 2010. I think in growing up I'll come to understand why the things happened that did, and why certain things happen. Maybe it's just destiny and fate, I'm not sure I believe in something that draws us into the "meant to be" illusion, but maybe if something is right it just will be, even if you try to stop it. There are certain impulses I've had this year, stupid ones, that I don't regret, but I regret having done in the way that I did. I've been made a better person and I will stay that way, and that makes me feel so much better. That in 2010 I can start things over, not with a clean slate but at least knowing in which direction I'm going, it's comforting. I've made friends this year that will never be lost and never be forgotten. I've grown apart from people I should have held so much closer, but people change, things change, things hurt, shit happens, we survive. I wish I had known all I know now, before this year began, but had I known, life would be too perfect, and with perfection comes disappointment and annoyance, because someone will always let you down. There is no way of knowing who you can trust, and who you can't until you have the experience and that I have learnt to well this year. You can hold onto something that you don't want to lose, but it doesn't mean it won't escape while you're not looking. I've learnt that the past will always be a part of your future, because you can't live it down, I know that, because I will never let go of some of the mistakes I have made, especially recently. Maybe I'm being punished for them, maybe this is just the course of nature, or maybe it really is fate.
I'm proud of myself for pulling myself out of a ditch. But I have to say I've been lying to myself about certain things. I know everything might not be okay, and I know that eventually things will be forgotten that I never want to fade. Things that I miss will become nonexistent and things that I love will disappear. I hope that one day, someone comes looking for their fate, and I hope that one day, I can help someone find it...
There is only one guarantee in life, that one day you'll get fucked over and you won't like it.
There is only one truth in life and that is that you will love with all your heart, no matter how it hurts.
