sometimes when i look back at it all, it doesn't seem like i accomplished that much in a year... the time i had was spent fighting my way through that middle ground status between adulthood and playful twenty-something... i enter 2007 without a job in my field (yet), with a man i love and with aspirations to make it another year of simple, blissful memories like the past one...
"what's simple is true"...
