Happy New Years!

We went out in NYC tonight and had a great time. We started in Brooklyn at this very hipster place. It was a really interesting experience. Definitely outside of the mainstream bar scene. We only stayed for about an hour, but I’m glad we went. After leaving Brooklyn, we headed into Greenwich Village and went to a couple bars. The first was one we’ve been to quite a few times that has a drag show. We hung out there for a little while before going to Stonewall. We ended up going upstairs at Stonewall and dancing for a little while. The music was pretty good and I was having such a fun time I let loose and danced for a bit. I’m normally a lot more self conscious when it comes to dancing – or rather my inability to do it, but tonight was much better. I felt such a lightness in my heart. Such a contentment. I think it was mainly because I’ve been around such great friends lately and having new experiences. I’m finally breaking free from the old, boring, mundane nature of my past life. It feels wonderful.

2013 is going to be an amazing year. It’s going to involve a tremendous amount of personal growth. I’ve come so far already towards becoming the person I want to be, but I still feel like there’s room for dramatic improvement. Like I’ve just uncovered the tip of the iceberg. I have a feeling now that I’m no longer shackled to that vile, vile job I hated the growth is going to snowball on me. I have so many awesome things potentially in the future – namely Norway, Thailand and of course exploring NYC and the surrounding area as I wait for everything to fall into place. It’ll be wonderful to be able to work out again, too. I’m so excited to get back into the gym and hopefully get back in some kind of decent shape. I feel like my knee problems are very close to being over and I can’t wait to move on with my life!
