Lets here it for New Yorkkkk
HMM.,
Well, it took me a while to make a decision on wether or not I should upload a picture to flickr. I know it seems so cliche to say that I am so "busy". I know it does not seem like a lot of effort or whatever to upload a picture, but I didnt have ANY photos that I could upload. It is really a shame, and I am upset with myself for being away for so long. Most of you on here have specific reasons, and I started this huge group trying to inspire you all, and I just stopped. I cannot let my work overcome by love to take photos. I need to realize that I have people that are counting on me, or (atleast I could hope so...). Anyway, to start things off, its the end of first semester. I have conquered a TON of stuff. I made new friends, and I lost friends. I made the volleyball team again, I got good grades, I went to NEW YORK! and had a blast. I really miss all of your words, and your stories, and everything about you guys. I realize that I cant just blow you off the way I did, and not telling you why. I am truly sorry and I did not mean to wait 5 months to upload for you all. I am not trying to make it seem that my photos are so good that im sorry for leaving you hanging,. To start off this year, I am going to be not only more active, but more personal, and respectful. I am not going to be afraid to tell you guys things because I know I can trust you all. Through 2011 I have gone through a lot. Started it off with losing my Nonna. Then my Great Uncle. Then my aunt and uncle got a divorce. I found that my girlfriend had feelings for some other boy. I became closer with my friends at school. I went to disney, california, and new york. I had an amazing summer. I second guess myself...I cant figure out who I am, or who I am supposed to be. Slowly but surely, I am walking towards finding out who I am. My hopes for 2012 is that I figure it out. My fears is that I will disappoint someone, or I will hurt myself (not physically) in the process. I really hope you can all forgive me for leaving you stranded.. and I hope that 2012 I will be able to live with no regrets, and can make it on my own. Love you all and thank you for being here, at my stream. Thanks for everything and Happy New Year!
