The new year

So my new year didn’t quite start out the way I would have liked.

I still feel a little bummed out that things didn’t work out between me and C, but, you know, these things do get easier each time, and you take these little disappointments less and less personally.

At least these situations provide you with an opportunity to figure out what you want. And I know what I want. I want someone who is as into me as I’m into them, someone who thinks I’m pretty swell, someone who would miss me, someone who thinks that I’m worth taking a chance on. Not exactly a profound realization, but it was nice to be reminded.

But we’ll be friends. In the future. Some time. Maybe. I believe his request to be sincere and considering what I had written here so many months ago, I feel happy about this prospective new friendship.

So here I am entering the new year basically where I was at the beginning of last year, but with new friends, more experience and a different, though more positive perspective of things. And just as I was last year, I’m excited to see what the new year will bring.
