I for one will be glad to see the back end of 2007 - Page 2

Prudence · 12-04-2007, 06:28 PM

For me, 2007 was the year of failure. One failure after another. I'd say things can't get worse in 2008, but that would just be a temptation for fate, who clearly has it in for me already. I will be happy to see this year go, but I have lost faith than anything better is waiting in the wings.

I can't believe I didn't mention this in the OP, but too late to edit it, so:

I will be glad to say goodbye to disease, which hit my family pretty hard this year. My aunt died of lung cancer, and her daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma, the treatment for which was so bad that near the end she landed in the hospital because she was no longer able to eat. But her treatment should be concluded by now, so I'm glad to see the end of that. It was especially tough for her not being able to be there for her mom while trying to survive herself. Smoking is bad, mmmkay?

Based on the responses here, I guess I should state that the reason I posted this thread is to say goodbye to all the bad things the year brought me, and look forward to a better year in 2008. You could say I'm casting salty cookies into the waves.

I should also say that LoT has been a bright spot in my life this year, being the source of many of the good things that happened, and providing me a distraction from all the things that have served to drag me down mentally. Thanks, guys!

I seem to have better luck on odd numbered years.
Don't know why.
Even 2001... it was a good year until September and then it got better again in October...

Pretty much no matter what the situation I am always pretty content with however I find myself.

So, 2007 continues a 33 year streak of pretty good years.

I haven't done a complete assessment yet, but I believe 2007 was a very good year for me. I still suffer some workplace malaise, but I've did quite a bit to combat that, been both more creative and hedonistic, and feel like I'm actually progressing on a lot of fronts.

But 2006 sucked, happy to have that one further behind me.

While the year was rough and filled with it's own issues, I gotta say that 2007 was great, not on account of itself, but in anticipation of what is now going to be in just a few weeks - finally finished with my stupid Bachelor's Degree!

So, when I say goodbye to 2007, I am really saying goodbye to all the angst over working with other undergrads. When I say goodbye to 2007, I'm saying goodbye to the things in my life that I don't need, from emotional baggage to unnecessary material trappings. I'm not saying goodbye to California, but I am saying HELLOOO to getting a start in life once again. Knowing all of this has kept me buoyant through the rough waves, ready for the next year.

2007 has been a great year for me, if we must measure it by the calendar.

It's ending on some pretty sucky notes, but that doesn't change that most of the year's been great. Even if I was living in a dream world that bore no resemblance to anyone else's reality.

Oh well.

Either things will get better in 2008, or I'll retreat from reality so that it will seem great to me.

CoasterMatt · 12-04-2007, 08:57 PM

2007 rocked.

Good riddance to 2007!~

Ironically.. My car is almost dead now... so good riddance! so much drama all over, causing me problems, loosing focus on everything... I hope 2008 is better.

2007 sucked utterly for me. It started with fraudulent activity on my bank account that took forever to resolve. And then went downhill. I spent hours on the phone with the providers of every. single. one. of the services I spend money to support, I lost my awesome job because of some creepy climber who got my boss (and so me) fired, the club I used to run had a major and public melt-down, my former best friend stabbed me in the back on my birthday, most of my family is either not talking to me or is dying, or both...2008 could not possibly be worse. Am I tempting fate by writing that? GoodBYE 2007.
