Because what good is a blog if you can't use it for some annual navel-gazing?
2005, for all the hoopla about changes and moving and such, was just what I predicted. I left Hollywood and the movie business to try out Boston and politics. So far so good.
So what's in store for 2006? Well, I turn 26 in a few weeks, which isn't really a difficult prediction to make. I don't think this year will involve as many drastic transitions. Once I get a job (this week, I hope), I'll most likely keep it through the year. And I'm certainly not planning on leaving Boston this year. The changes that I imagine will come will most likely be solidifying ones. I'll get more settled into my life here, into my friendships and relationships. I'll further establish myself in the local political scene and hopefully get a better sense of direction within that framework.
For some reason this New Year doesn't seem to carry the fanfare of the past few. I'm not asking where 2005 went, because this time a year ago seems pretty far back and a heck of a lot has happened in the meantime.
Last year I wrote about how things had been stagnant and I wanted change. Well, I certainly got it and I'm definitely not feeling the same thing this year. I'm excited for what's to come, even though it's still pretty vague. I guess I'm open to whatever the world wants to throw at me.
I hope 2006 is a good one for everybody.
