2007 in Review

Without a doubt, this has been the worst year of my life!!



By the first month I was already into a state of depression that was consuming my soul. I had stopped going to church which was all I knew how to do. Before 2007 I used to go to church everyday, I even had a job at the church. Things changed by the end of 06 and they went from bad to worst throughout 07.



I didn't have a job and I couldn't make my car payments on time. So, my sister took over the payments and also took my car. I depended on people to go to places. My friend Michael Timoney would pick me up to take me to school (thanks buddy that was nice of you.)



I wasn't even going to go to school because I didn't have money to pay for my semester. But I thought school would help me with the whole depression thing. So I found a way to go to school. I borrowed money!



School was cool. Rosali made me an editor for the newspaper. I did things that really help me forget about all the other bad things that were happening around me. I also got a job at the end of Jan. at quizno's (which I really didn't want to do, but it was my last resource at the time.)



During Feb I got in a fight; a fist fight with a person I love a lot. It was a sad moment again. I started thinking: How could I have done that? People that love each other don't hurt each other. I cried and I thought things would never be the same again… Thankfully I was wrong, and things got better or at least for a while they did.



By March I went to the state's capitol for a journalist's conference. I had such a good time there. I wanted to stay and never come back. But it was only a weekend so it ended soon. When I came back I started working at Borders. That was also a great experience. I loved working there. My co-workers were nice, customers weren't as bad as the ones from quizno's, and I just had fun doing what I did.



During April I met the most beautiful girl in the galaxy. I was falling for her… but, and here is a big but… She is only 17 and won't be 18 till Feb 08. To make matters worst, she liked some one else, a 70 something year old guy (weird, I know.)



May is always a good month, cause my birthday is during the 1st week of May. This year I had the best surprise birthday party at the beach. I really wasn't expecting it and I think that's what made it so cool. Once again a big THANK YOU to Michael, because he organized it.



By June I was pretty much feeling better and I wouldn't cry as much.

But in July I got sick. I went to the hospital and they sent me home saying everything would be better.



They were wrong. By the beginning of August, I was sick again and I had to go to the E.R. where I found out I had gull stones and they had to remove my gull bladder. I was so scared. I had never been hospitalized before. This was the worst time of the whole year! Most of my family and friends showed up for moral support (thanks you guys, I love you all.)



In September, after that horrible surgery I was home recovering. Some of my friends showed up to my house too. I couldn't go back to work right away because I couldn't lift heavy things and when I did go back I wasn't 100%. That same month I had to leave Borders.



All though I was already feeling a little better, loosing Borders brought tears again. Things started going down the hill from there, again. Although I got another job after the 1st week, it wasn't the same. This new job is Boring, and although it pays really well, I don't get enough hours so it doesn't even matter.



The person I got in a fight with during Feb. lied to me during October, which made me super sad. This guy's like my brother, I trust him so much and I never thought he would lie to me.



November was no different. He lied to me again. This time his lies caused a bigger problem. Not only because I was hurt again, but because after this I wouldn't be able to see him again. It didn't really matter at 1st. "Oh well, I'll see him around, I'm sure" I thought. By the end of the month it started bugging me a lot, because like I said before, he's like a brother to me. He's my best friend. Not having him around was making me keep my feelings bottle up, because I had no one to share them with.



The first week of December I had come to the conclusion that I needed professional help to survive the depression that was coming back to my life. Instead, I went back to church. I started over because I realized that I needed that part of my life back. I said goodbye to 2007 at church and I felt so good. I know this New Year will be better or at least I really hope so. Although a bad thing already happened this morning like around 1:30… I'll move on and pretend like it never happened. I won't let anything ruin this year for me. I really hope 2008 is a better year for me.
