What changed in your life this year?

100. Positives and negatives

For the worse-- I was screwed over royally by someone who I thought I loved. After spending my 20s not dating at all, I fall for this guy thinking that he liked me (he did at the time). It took me half the year to realize that he screwed me over. I'm now on the verge of asking someone else out.

My beloved Tabby had to be put to sleep at the age of almost 18. He was the one consistent in my life since 8th grade, and life without him was painful. I was on the road then and did not even get the chance to say goodbye.

For the better

I was able to see a part of the country that I never have been to and participate in democracy at its finest. I was very lucky to be able to spend the spring in Wisconsin working on a state senate recall. I contemplated going back for the Walker recall but ultimately decided I needed a work/life balance. Had they started two weeks later I would have been all over it.
