Important things that have happened this year:
* I gratuated from highschool
* I won a prize for the best workpiece of the entire school (together with ~Rozoo )
* I moved out of my parents house and started living on my own
* I started college
* I dropped out of college (Yes people, I haven't officially told many people, but I am dropping out and start a new study, see the rest of this journal for details)
* My very first exhibition
* My very first deviantART meeting, which was super awesome!
* My grandmother passed away..But she is in a better place now and she will always be in my heart
It was a busy year, but 2010 will hopefully be even better!
* I'm going to a HIM concert
* I'm going to see Lostprophets TWICE!
* There will be a second deviantART Dutch meeting!
* My boyfriend and I finally will go on a trip together, just the two of us! (after 3 years dating)
* I will start a new study: I dropped out because I was tired of feeling miserable. This was just not what I wanted to do and I promised myself years ago that I would never do anything that I didn't have passion for. So what are you gonna do now? The plan is to get into Photography school and chase after my dreams
Well, this is my end of the year journal and with this journal I just want to thank everyone who has ever faved my artwork, who is watching me here on DA, or who has ever given me comments

And of course, there are a few people that deserve a little extra
=Xirre Thank you for being such an awesome friend. I want to says thanks because you are always there for me, wether Im happy or wether Im sad. You always bring a bit of extra joy in my life because I know that you will always be there and I feel very blessed to have you as my friend. Thank you for believing in me.
~SeetherFan2 I've met you this year here on DA and we became pretty close friends. I want to thank you because you always seem to make me smile when I feel bad. Thank you for being my skype buddy for the late hours I spend alone, you make them a lot more nice
~ForeverFallen16 Thank you for the nice conversations we have here on DA

~Lynx12 Thank you for organizing the Dutch devmeet with me
I really had a fun time organizing everything and I really enojoyed to spend time with you
Thank you for doing this with me
And thank you to everyone who showed up at the Dutch Devmeet, because without you guys it would never have been such a great succes!
And last, but not least
~Rozoo We became very close friends this year (I know her in personal, for the people who don't know her). We shared all of our good and all of our bad moments together and you have always pulled me through them. You are the one who puts a smile upon my face whenever I feel like crying. Of all the people I know, you are one of the few that has always believed in me. You listened to me when I needed someone, you are always that shoulder I can cry on. When I feel like dancing around in public, you are the one who joins me. You are the one who gets my weird sense of humor.
I haven't told you this before, but I feel so lucky to have you as a friend. I never thought I could feel this close to a person again. I never thought it would be you, just 5 years ago you were "that girl with the funny hair". Now you are someone I trust and someone who knows me so well. Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for caring and thank you for being my best friend.
So, I hope all of you arent super tired of reading this journal, haha
I wish everyone the very best for next year and I hope you guys will do what you want to do!
