Yeah this year started off with my mom going into the hospital on Jan 1st for 7 days. They thought it was a heart attack or stroke, put her through every test possible to end up saying oh it was nothing you seem fine. :/ My mom??s back went out and then about a month later my back went out, worst pain I have ever felt in my life and couldn't walk for 2 weeks took about 2-3 months to heal up but still have problems with it and I just had to put my little man, the love of my life, my dog down 3 weeks ago. Plus I think everybody in my family, except me, got in a car accident this year. Those are just some of the big things...there has been a lot of other crap in-between. My boss and I were just joking around the other day, her year as had a lot of junk happen too, she said she has a bottle of bubbly in the fridge for us to crack open on Dec 31. So we can make a toast to the end of this crap year and to the beginning of the new one. So happy it is almost here!

This year I lost several people close to me.

I also lost many things that were of great importance to me.

Did anyone else have a particularly bad year? Or is it just me?



sorry to hear that.

our family has been affected very much. you sit and wonder why?

it really gets you down and depressed. i love how my husband just powerfully pushes through. i dont know how he does it because i break down too much.

Lost a couple of friends to drugs, I was holding my father's hand when he passed away in the hospital, had to move back home for work (but I got to see my father more when I did), was dumped by a great guy because he couldn't handle the long distance. I'm not going to lie I'll be glad when 2013 is over. But I have my helmet on for what 2014 has in store for me.

Ongoing character development honks but gotta keep on trucking.

2013 - for the most part of the year I've been optimistic. For the most part of the year, I looked at the bright side of everything... But underneath, I have sooo many problems... problems you would never encounter on any ordinary day. Some people would have been depressed because of the gravity or perverseness of my problems. Oh no... Really... But I held on to my faith and kept things positive.

Over all, 2013 should be the WORST. If I weigh all my problems, it should really be the worst. But because of the same problems I am facing, I became more MATURED, WISER, and HAPPIER. I became a much STRONGER person, ready to face any kind of challenge I will encounter. I look up to myself, I SHOULD BE SAD, I SHOULD BE DEPRESSED. :/ But look, I am HAPPY. I probably have the worst problems here than anyone else. I'm not even ready to tell anyone what problems I have. But I'm HAPPY. And that's what makes 2013 a wonderful year to me. It's the first year in my life that my focus has shifted from "problems v.v. blessings" to my "inner wholeness and maturity."

The wisdom that I finally have has become more important to "how blessed or how unfortunate" I am. For a long time in my life, I felt that void in my heart that was so depressing but I couldn't believe that the EMERGENCE OF THESE HUGE PROBLEMS would actually be the ones that will finally FILL UP THAT VOID IN MY HEART. The problems that I am facing are very very perverse. I couldn't even elaborate on how perverse they are. Nor could I say how HAPPY I am. I am not only very happy. The feeling's also magical. Something I haven't even felt since the magic of 2000.

I think it's all about perspective. To me, it doesn't matter anymore that I have these problems. What matters most is that I am whole, I became wiser, more matured and all those worries and anxieties came to a full stop EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THE EMERGENCE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS.
