There's but another day or two left in 2006, and as it comes to a close, I would definately have to say that this has been the single best year of my entire life. It's had it's ups and it's downs, but through it all, there have definately been a lot more highlights. There are moments that I will definately never forget either good or bad, and I'd like to share them.

Without a doubt, the single greatest thing to happen was randomly running into my best friend from grades 3 and 4, and someone that years later I still care just as much about and am thankful to know, Kylee. we hadn't seen each other for a couple of years, and out of the blue we ran into each other on the bus and started talking to each other again. While we've had some slow moments since then, I'm glad to say she is back in my life, and I hope this time we'll be talking to each other for years to come.

Also met one of the most amazing and incredible people ever, who is already one of my closest friends, Kristina. While we don't always agree on things, she's definately one of the coolest people I've ever known, who has her whole life ahead of her. I'm glad to say we get to see each other every day at school, and then can talk for quite a while after we get home.

Another definite highlight has to be joining Nexopia, for the fact that some of the people I used to be rather close friends with, I've discovered happen to be members on here, and we've started talking again, as well as I'm starting to meet new people on here and gain more of a group of friends, something which I've often thought would never really happen.

I came out of the closet for being bisexual. The only people that don't know as of yet are my family, and that's because they aren't exactly the most open-minded of people. Still, I have finally completely accepted who I am in that regard, and am comfortable with sharing it with other people, and iif they don't like that, then tough shit, because I really don't care.

One final moment that really touched me was my friend Andrea had her last day at Zellers back in November, and as a gift for her, since I knew I wasn't going to be seeing or hearing from her much at all, I gave her this celtic cross that I had for a couple years, that was quite dear to me. For sentimental reasons, it was my most prized possession, and often helped to calm me down when I was feeling quite hurt or depressed, and I hope that it will continue on with her and help her out in times of need.

I lost a couple of my closest friendships due to my own ignorance and stupidity this year, including the friendship and relationship I had with my darling Jess. There's not a single day that goes by now, or that will ever go by that I will not think about her and miss being able to talk to her. I was an asshole to her, and with everything that happened, I don't deserve her in my life. Still, I try to remain strong and just keep going.

I met this remarkable girl named Carrie-Rae, who I loved quite a bit, but I never got a chance to tell her, as she passed away from cancer before I was able to. She was definately one of a kind, and in the short time I knew her, I will never forget her.

Lastly, since I'm not really sure where to pt this one, I had an on-again, off-again relationship with this girl Samantha, who I care for, but it's been a rollercoaster of emotion and hhas left me emotionally and physically drained at times. We finally just called it quits just a couple of days ago, and I'm hoping that me and her will be able to remain good friends.

With everything that's happened this year, I've really learned a lot more about myself, who I am, who I was, and who I want to be, and in the coming years, I can finally allow myself to grow and expand as a person, as for once, I am truly comfortable with myself. While I do still face depression, and am going into therapy to try and resolve some issues that I still have, I feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed, and just generally at peace, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
