To say 2011 was a bad year for me would be extremely inaccurate. I've have a harsh last couple of years and simply carried the baggage over. I've lost friends, had my heart broken more than once, and my dreams shattered. I made a long string of mistakes, bad decisions and I made myself numb to any feeling. 2012, is the year of redemption.

In retro respective, putting a side the dark place my heart was at, I had a fantastic 2011. I lived in Chile, explored the country, took a bajillion pictures, and made  friends I will have for the rest of my life. I  reconnected with my father, and my family who I haven't seen or talked to since 1994.

Also, I had a crap load of fun.

Most importantly, I realized what I wanted out of my life. Learning about cultures and traveling are my passion and have finally decided to attend college for it. Design is my bread maker and I still enjoy, so obviously i will still be doing it for a long time.

The end of 2011 has been fantastic in regards to work, and getting my ish together. I expect 2012 to have a lot more of this, and that frequent travel is also part of the plan. Life is all about perspective and mine has been scared straight.

Let's live long, prosper, and rock this biatch.
