2009
i have no regrets that weren’t set right in the end. i have learned more from my mistakes this year than any other, and as a result i’ve had a few perspective changes. i leave this year with no resentment towards anyone, and thankful for the new friends i’ve made and the old friends i’ve bonded with.
i know my outlook has changed on my career and where i’m going next and my level of confidence in it. now all i gotta do is figure out how to take care of myself. and i finally got almost all A’s in school, hey.
it’s funny. i wasn’t in love this year, not with anybody. i had a few crushes, sure, but by the end of the year i had gotten over… really, i think all of them, to some extent. even the ones that i’d harbored for years. maybe that’s a sign more than anything that i’m different now?
and yet, for this being the only year i was not in love or even involved with anyone, it has been filled with the most love, the most enriching friendships i’ve ever had.
thanks for making me better, you guys. i love all of you, from my hausies and art kids, my theatre family, my breakfast club, my greenville kids, and definitely my sister-friends. i don’t think you know how much you’ve affected me.
i have a really, really good feeling about this next decade. i don’t know how to explain it, because i’ve had a good feeling about this decade since… like 2005.
i finally have to become an adult now.

It’s all so exciting! It’s like starting over, and you’re now free to make all these new choices and have new adventures. You’re gonna be awesome LBowes! You have such a great personality and can really bring enthusiasm anywhere you go. Good luck, and I hope to see you at the new house!
Love you, and best wishes for 2010. (And also the decade you’ve been looking forward to for 5 years. May it be even more than you expected).
