But something about this post gave me a little giggle. I think it's how you write. You seem to be taking it all in stride. Some years are better than others my friend. I don’t mean to laugh.

-you have an amazing family, or so it seems from what you write: the food drop offs, so cool
-you have raised your guitar hero stats
-you became a part of Puro Pedo magazine
-you traveled
-you may be single but at least you aren’t with someone who doesn’t want to be with you
-your resume didn’t really need those conferences and grad student position to make you look good on paper, you have so much more to put in there

the stumbles are only there to remind you that you aren’t THAT perfect, and we all need that every now and then, otherwise we get all cocky n stuck up.

I have felt very similar this year but rejection makes us more loveable, accessible, approachable. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. Also, have you listened to the Rancid song "Rejected"? It's good...an energetic way to wallow, if that's possible. Keep your chin up sister! I have felt very similar this year but rejection makes us more loveable, accessible, approachable.

Things are such a process sometimes! I've decided my motto for the coming year will be "Open and Receptive But Selective" People laugh at me when they hear that I've added Selective, but hey, I may be in need of friends but I'm not desperate! ;D It has to be about quality over quantity right? I hope the coming year brings you a lot more Yes-es. Feliz Navidad!
