My Hero

I came home to Boston a few days ago and it's weird how everything is different but yet still the same. Everyone has grown up so much but when we all get together it's like we're still in high school just with a better fashion sense. I came home with the intentions of doing a few things and I've taken care of just about everything I needed to, talked to the people I needed to and steered clear of the people I shouldn't see.

Since this is probably my last entry of 2009 I'm trying to think of something interesting or pertinent to say about my life. Or perhaps show what I've learned about myself this past year. I guess the two most important things that have changed in me are due in part to the same person. First and foremost I've learned how to be an adult, how to start taking responsibility for my own life. It's taken me a long time to do this. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm coddled or maybe it's sheer laziness on my part. Whatever the reason I've learned that it's unacceptable and I have the means and the intelligence to take care of myself.

The second thing I learned is that I can feel something for another human being again without it completely taking over my life. I can be happy with her and without her. I can have my life and also let her be a part of it. My happiness isn't dependant upon her, it's just enhanced by being with her. She changed me, made me a better version of myself. She's a mix of M.V. and S.M. She is the superhero of girlfriends.

So those are the 2 things I learned this year...

That and I guess I do "sleepovers" now. :-)
