With a new year approaching, Ive decided to make a slightly lengthy/personal Facebook post evaluating my experiences in 2014. I dont normally do this but, since its an occassion, fuggit. 2014, for me, was a year of progress and regress. Early on, I felt my mind becoming liberated from the emotional stress I experienced in 2013. Spending the time I did with Lazer Hog did wonders to lift my spirits as playing shows became one of the few activities in which I could truly be myself. However, it did have a cost on my life in school which, in turn, affected my relationship with my parents. Summer would come to ease the pain of this wake up call, though, with a family trip to New Orleans. Spending time in a different city around different people who share a different culture reminded me that the world was much bigger than I had allowed myself to see. Around this time, immediately before the Fall Semester, I began to remember the value of hard work and the significance of maintaining focus for the sake of accomplishing a goal. With this in mind, I felt refreshed and ready to engage the upcoming school year. Unfortunately this improved me would fall victim to an emotional ambush triggered by the visit of a person whose emotional grip I began to feel again. For weeks I was stricken by severe anxiety with my heart pounding for almost a full day. It was strange to see how mere thoughts could take control of how I lived, and how a glimpse of the past could take you back to an old state of mind regardless of how far you think youve moved on. I felt like I took a step backwards for a moment, but the positive events that followed (the return of writing/practicing with Lazer Hog and a well done semester) would slowly lead to my current state of mind. Ive been reminded of my true strength, and how much bigger I truly am than the thoughts that peck at my head. Its years like this that really make me cherish people who are still in my life, as they are the ones who will ultimately help me on my way to happiness and success. Anyways, my stale writing is just making me realize how much I need to practice more and read more books so... Ill just leave it all at that. May this new year offer everyone the positive insights and experiences they need to grow into a better person! And may nobodys hangover tomorrow be that severe.
