Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change To something new, to something strange; Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane, The mist and cloud will turn to rain, The rain to mist and cloud again, To-morrow be to-day. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

DAY FIVE - 2011: The Movie
reverb11:
If a film were made about ONE thing that happened to you in 2011, what would the film be called? Describe the plot/story.
It’d probably be the time I went to Brooklyn for the night because my friend’s friend was having a party. Stayed up 24 hours. We took the subway at 6 A.M. and got completely judged for our appearances/still being drunk. We somehow navigated the...

DAY FOUR - Healing
reverb11:
What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2012?
My family healed me this year. In the midst of me losing almost everything that was important to me, they were there. My mom especially was my rock. She never did anything out of the ordinary to baby me when times were hard, but her strength inspired me. She understood what...

DAY THREE - Ambitions
reverb11:
What are your ambitions? What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to/detracts from your ambitions? Can you eliminate it?
My ambitions essentially come down to me being happy and healthy. I’ve struggled my entire life with depression and anxiety; this year, I tried so hard to let go of negativity and become happier. I want to worry less and live more. I want to help...

DAY TWO - Let go
reverb11:
What, or whom, did you let go of this year? Why?
(Tag your posts reverb11! :) )
I let go of an old love. I had to. He meant the world, but our love was not healthy. Each fight led me to become more and more worn out. I did not have energy left to fight. A relationship should be positive, and that was not us. We were toxic to each other. I hope he is able to hate me less now and see...
Help!
Anyone know where I could get a cute pair of snow/winter boots?!

DAY ONE - One word.
reverb11:
Encapsulate 2011 in one word. Explain why you’re using that word.
(Don’t forget to tag with Reverb11.)
Changes. This year was full of changes. In the very beginning of last year (February), a very important relationship of almost 4 years ended for me. I have been trying to use this experience for the better; to become a stronger, independent person. Can’t say that I’m...
