And, finally, here's the third and final part of my Year In Review. I wish so much of my quotes weren't about negative things, but the past is the past. Some years are harder than others, and to be fair, the year was certainly not all bad. It's just kind of painful to look back at some of it. But you've got to try to learn from the past, even if it hurts, so you can have more hopes that the future will be better for it.

( Here's to hope )

So, remember when I did that long-ass Year In Review entry, last year? I'm doing it again. But, try as I might, I can't avoid it being way longer now, because I only started writing in my own lj in September last year, and even with the private diary I kept before it, I still didn't have nearly as much to take quotes from then as I do this time. I know I'll probably be the only person to read these (I may post them in multiple parts), although I'm certainly not just putting this together for me or whatever (I just know this really will be long, and people have lives. Heh), but I can't resist wasting time on it, because I like having my last Year In Review to look back on, so I think I'd like to have it for this year too. I enjoy being able to go to a single entry or two, and be taken down memory lane in such an organized, thorough way.

As before, this will basically just consist of quotes from various entries written over the last year, and where I feel it's worth it, I'll add my thoughts on what was said, and its relevance and all that.

I think it will end up being posted in about three different segments, since each one is long by itself, and posting them as one would just be insane. I'm posting this first one now, but the next two probably won't get done until tomorrow or so, since I'm going over to my sister's tonight. I kind of wish I'd had all my New Years talk out of the way before the new year itself, but oh well. I hope everyone has a nice New Years Eve, drinks a little sumthin-sumthin (I certainly plan to, if only a little). And as I said last year, here's hoping the next year involves a lot more laughter, and a lot less tears, for everyone. I love you all, dearly.
