2009...it's all mine...and yours, too.

Hello 2009!

2008.
These four digits mean so much.
The year I left my comfort zone (MCA) into high school.
The year I stopped depending on other people for my own spiritual growth.
The year I lost friends and gained even more.
The year I decided to stop having my heart broken, and simply to wait for the right him.
The year I...grew up.

I really cannot describe all of the ways I am different than I was this time last year. It's still the same old Jordan, just the "new and improved" version! The non-jealous, non-clingy, independent one.
I like it.
I hope you do, too.
But I have to say, finally that I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!
And I am so very proud to say that.
Finally.
I beat the "teenage syndrome" that tells me I have to care about what other people think.
That's just...indescribable.
"But Jordan, this is a blog, and you have to describe it!"
Okay, it's just such a freedom that I have, knowing that I can be ME, and that's okay. It's a sense of...validation that I have now that I did not before. I feel good enough. I am accepted. I have changed who I was this year.
2008...was great.
But 2009...
it's all mine.
To be me. And for you to be you. And to have that sense of validation that is...indescribable.
So, goodbye 2008.
2009, it's our year.
