2012 round up


Fresh

Recommended Posts

Yeah there's a while left, but the Eric Thomas disciples among us are already looking at 2013, so let's have a round-up of the year so far.

Discuss memorable events, on and off the forum.

Your own personal achievements

Your own personal failures

Your highest high

Your lowest low

How have you changed since 2011

Most importantly, use this thread to lay some of your aspirations for 2013, maybe someone will remember to bump it in a year and we can all reflect.

Your own personal achievements

moved out

started back driving lessons

started back on the sax and refreshing/increasing my knowledge of music theory

Your own personal failures

failed my driving test twice

got bumped by one instructor and the worst is i've taken a break

partly due to financial reasons and because i was so f*cked off by the last test but im not a giver upper and i will get back on it

Your highest high

moving out, had one of the greatest birthdays ever this year, probably actually the greatest. it was a week long celebration

first time i had a cake since i was 13 years old. I saw the olympic torch, got wrapped up in the hype lol, got absolutely waved with the people i love the most. champers an brandy all night

became a God parent twice - really happy that the parents think this much of me

Your lowest low

_______

How have you changed since 2011

i will never be gassed over a man again and it is extremely unlikely that i will love a man again

the most a prospective can hope for from me is time and energy and he should appreciate this as all i can give which to me is still a heck of a lot

aspirations for 2013

want to get out of the office environment completely. To do this I will be working on my sax as well as pursuing a couple other interests and skill sets I have.

I WILL pass my driving test, it will not pass me

start muay thai and or athletics again

spend some more time with my god children and other family members whom I have neglected unintentionally

hopefully a MASSIVE family trip to JA

forward ever, backward never basically

/

pos to everyone for their achievements and hope that we all reach the higher heights of our aspirations going forward

Your lowest low

2012 is the year i lost my mind, literally. my mind state is f*ckED and i dont feel that i am mentally stable.

How have you changed since 2011

stopped going raving as much, cut down big time on the drink and drugs. feel more grown up with more responsibilities rather than going out with the lads every week... even if i do miss it.

2012 has been a f*ck*ng awful year for me though in all honesty.

Your own personal achievements

Coming off drugs and drink (cocaine, weed and spirits)

Your own personal failures Not telling me ex how I really feel about her before she left the country

Your highest high went through April to may winning loads of bets won around 6k all together wasted most of it :(

Your lowest low being in hospital thinking I was going to die

How have you changed since 2011 I can see how drugs and drink had a devastating effect on things I do and being active. I no longer just talk the gospel I live it to

Most importantly, use this thread to lay some of your aspirations for 2013, maybe someone will remember to bump it in a year and we can all reflect. Going to work harder try and not waste money
