A glimpse of me and the city: December 2007

Happy New Year!!!

Ok, so it's the last day of 2007 - my last chance to have something written in here with that year on it. This is a time of meditation, new plans and lots of partying as well. And I’m going to do all of them. In moderation, though. Must be the age...or something :)

I just want to say that I'm very grateful for this past year, even if it wasn’t as I wished for it. It’s important that my family, my friends and I are still alive and kicking and that they are there and close to me. It was a year of up and downs, mostly downs, but ultimately they become ups because I learned more about myself and gained more strength for all those downs that no matter what you do still find a way in your life.

In March I came back from Ghana and started to make a new life back home in Bucharest – and damn hard it was. With a boyfriend dumping me after a long distance relationship (or so I thought) and with a very unclear idea of what I wanted to do, I practically started it all over again. I was lucky to have old friends by my side and some new ones that helped me get through not so fun times. With their help and some good self motivation I managed to make drawing – one of the things I love – a profession. Even if I’m not a full time illustrator, I am one and that's what matters. In the last part of the year I’ve met some nice people and now share some beautiful memories together. So even if it wasn’t like I imagined it, this past year was a good one, with lots of pleasant surprises, personal growth and very cool friends (all over the world).

Yeah, I’m getting a bit sentimental, but why the hell not – it’s my blog after all! :)

Anyway, I’m really excited and a bit scared about next year since I’m starting a new life. Again.
I will be working and living in Dubai. Like all new things I have mixed feelings about it, but I’m positive about the whole experience because I know I can handle it no matter what happens. Yuppy yey!

Going to start the party now and have myself a drink! :)

Happy New Year everyone!
