Where Did The Year Go?

Never mind the year!
Where did the decade go???

I'm having a hell of a time grasping that it is the end of another decade.
It just doesn't seem possible.
So much has changed in the last ten years.
So much is different.
I can't even say if anything is the same as it was.

If you would have told me ten years that I would find myself flying
2200 miles away from a life I was slowly drowning in because of a man
who slowly whittled away my self esteem and self worth.  That I would find
the courage to pick myself and try to find myself. (I'm still working on the finding
myself.  Lots of shit to unlearn and weed through.)
I would have told you that you were crazy as fuck!

But I did leave.
Much to my own surprise.
And I'm sure the surprise of others.
They probably have deemed me crazy because of it.
At the very least, they've been judging me ever since even if I haven't heard about it.
How could they not? It's what people do.

Well...now I'm at a point in my life where I say if that's what floats your boat, go for it.
Unless you've been in my shoes, you don't get to have a say really.  But if you're going
to, I can't stop you. 

I'm still trying to wrap my head around that Christmas is in 9 days.
The new year in 15/16 days.
I've never been good at that counting days until crap.
I guess it's NYE in 15 days?
Either way, I can't grasp it.  It seems unreal.
It just doesn't seem possible.
But here we are.
