New Year... Independent!

So its a new year... I'm not one to write down resolutions, because honestly I rarely keep them, so why set myself up for failure? Right? So anyways, I brought in the new year with my own tradition. I took a long hot bath, made myself a cheap dinner (two hot dogs, not grilled but still good) worked on a Wicked puzzle that was a Christmas gift while watching/listening to Iron Man & The Dark Knight. When midnight rolled around I opened a bottle of sparkling cider, smiled and told myself here is to a new year, a good year. Then proceeded to drink nearly the entire bottle! What can I say, I like the stuff.
So this year, the year I turn 20-10, I still don't have resolutions, but I do have something that for a new year, is new to me. A positive outlook, that with no high hopes. Other than getting into the nursing program later this year I really hold no hope for huge change. While this may sound sad to some, for me I feel its healthy and actually makes me smile. I finally feel okay to be on my own. Don't get me wrong, I'm a romantic at heart (thus the name of this blog) but I don't feel dependent on the fact of a relationship. I don't feel that my status as a person depends on the status in my love life. I know my friends are planning a party for my thirtieth birthday and I'm just so happy that I have girlfriends that care enough to get together on my birthday and goof around with me!!!
