I always use to get really down on my birthday, I use to see it as a massive red line how much of a loner I was and the echo of singledom in my ears was deafening. But how easy would it be to crawl into a ball again and wish for things to change without making any effort. This year I refuse to lets things get me down, I won't let a guy make me feel awful again, I won't let work drive me to irritation-ville, I won't let myself be saddened by hurtful actions of others and I won't begin another year feeling sorry for myself.
So if the hard way is the new way and the easy way was the sad way, I think 2008 will see alot of dirt under my nails.
I think I will be a better person for it, that is my birthday present to myself this year. The best I think I could have received.
