Farewell 2008
By Audrey | December 31, 2008
What a year! I always get a little sentimental as I look over the past year, and there have been a lot of ups and downs this year.
Last year’s resolution was to be more social and work on my friendships, and I’m happy to say I think I knocked it out of the park. I made some amazing new friendships, had a few wonderful new lovers, and have tried to reconnect with old friends as much as I could, and threw some kickass pool and bbq parties this summer, which was probably the highlight of the year personally.
Oddly enough though, these last couple months have made me really itching to focus on me and my own needs again. This year has also brought a lot of frustrations, health and addiction problems in my family have brought a lot of heartache and the helpless feeling of not being able to help those you love has made me stop and think more about what I can do to help myself. I’ve been quite selfish the past 6 months or so, perhaps overly so, but I’m sure I’ll find a balance eventually. Right now though, I am all about ME and getting my life where I want it, since there seems to be little I can do to help with anyone else’s.
In 2009 I plan to focus mostly on getting financially stable, being physically healthy, and developing my drawing/artwork skills. It’s pretty exciting to know just what you want and feel ready to tackle it, and I’m trying to let go and not worry about everyone else’s problems and worries, because my own are quite enough for my to handle right now.
That said, I really think I kicked 2008’s ass. I have a stable group of friends I can count on when I need to, I have made so many improvements to my site I can hardly believe it, and I’m knee-deep in new projects with new models that I can’t wait to develop further in 2009. I also managed to cut my expenses by almost 40% this year by moving just at the right time, and of course I got spoiled damn near to death this Christmas which was fun and pretty touching. I feel so loved!
This year’s been a wild ride but I feel a lot more secure and confident than I ever have and I am so excited about improving my sites and the new projects I am starting, I can’t wait to see what’s around the corner. Thank you so much to my friends, lovers, readers, members, cam show customers, colleagues, and everyone who has supported and helped me survive this crazy year with my mind (somewhat) intact. I could not have done it without you guys and I can’t wait to spend another year online exploring with you. Happy New Year my lovies! Ring it in with gusto, stay safe, but not too safe, and if you don’t have anyone to kiss at midnight, feel free to smooch this:
