"It's like forgetting,
The words to your favorite song.
You can't believe it,
You were always singing along.
It was so easy,
And the words so sweet.
You can't remember,
You try to feel the beat."
People always say stuff like, "this isn't goodbye, this is a see you later" or something along those lines.
But, when a New Year is in the horizon... we must say goodbye to the present year... there is no going back nor revisiting. Sure we can recall memories... talk of experiences... watch videos and look at pictures... but there is no changing what has happened.
So, goodbye 2010... we must say our farewells.
2010 has been a pretty good year! Not perfect... even though the second half of it pretty much went without a hitch.
I will cherish the moments, the friends, the experiences, the pain, the happiness, the highs, the lows... I take all of it with me!
2011 will be a better year because of 2010... it has set the foundation for an even better 2011!
I especially am grateful for the way I'm ending 2010. Sitting here, on my bed... IN MIAMI... after an absence of almost 2 1/2 years. I've cherished my moment here and have been beyond happy to see the faces of my family and friends again.
However, I'm also eager to bring in 2011 and leave 2010 in the past. I have so much to look forward to... and, in a way... I can't wait to return to Japan. Not that I don't like my life here in Miami... it's just... I'm not meant to return yet. I don't know how to explain it, but it's just how I feel. I'm actually glad that this is how I feel since I was worried this trip would make me feel homesick and make me want to return. But, I have plans... I must save more money... I must travel more... I must master the Japanese language more... I must take in Japan more!
If anything... 2010 is ending with a bang... and starting with a bang... and it's all thanks to being here in Miami during this time.
So, yeah... Happy New Year to everyone... Feliz Año Nuevo... Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! May all you wishes and desires come to you this upcoming year... and I wish everyone all the happiness, wealth, and health possible!

You're very much about moving on and whats' done is done. My friend told me once that I hold on to the hot potato too long and need to let go things regardless of how it came to be. I'm taking that advice and your stance on these things. C'est la vie and tout va bien.
Speaking of traveling more - Hokkaido for the Snow Festival February 2012! 行こう！
もちろん行きましょうよ！！！！！
I can't wait for you and Luis to be on the same side of the world as me again!
