Nah I kid I love this kind of thing though this really is leaving it to the last minute and I really honestly do feel like crashing. Because wow exhaustion is suddenly a thing that happens.
All things change. I read my previous time capsule entry and I turned out so different than past me could even envision. So I'm not going to try predicting what will happen this year. Hopefully things will stay relatively the same. Maybe they'll be so different you don't even have the same close friends or games you're in or anything.
Just... don't fear change. Don't be afraid to let things go. Sometimes it's inevitable. It'll hurt, and that's okay, but don't let that hurt hold you back. You can get through anything. Hell, look how much of a turnaround you had this past academic semester - from feeling like a failure on academic probation to having a semester that raised your overal GPA and now nearly a semester ahead of schedule.
And you'll have taken some pretty damn big steps this year. Getting a job, trying to live on your own income. I really hope it's going okay. If it... goes not as well as you hoped... I know you tried. Really tried. I also know you'll feel like you could have tried harder. Stop that. You did your best if I know you, and thinking about could-have-beens won't change thins anyway.
Just... keep going. Go as far as you can. Even if you don't know when or where or how, just keep going. I know you'll get there.
You still need to work on that confidence though, kiddo. I don't care that you're 22 now you'll always be kiddo.
Good luck. Love yourself and everyone around you. <3

i'm casting Meryl Streep as me and Anne Hathaway as you. because i hope one day i can be as classy, and i know you're definitely as inspiring. maybe it'll be a musical. we'll see.
thanks for putting up with me, for never abandoning me, and for reminding me that the ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who really matter don't mind. thanks for being the Xion to my Axel and making sure i keep the right things memorized. thanks for never giving up on me, even when i wanted to give up on myself.
here's hoping we'll have a lot more years of friendship to look forward to, and maybe they'll only get easier from here on.

What comes to mind immediately is running around Glitch with you in it's final hours. I know it seems like a small thing, but I was really beyond happy that there was someone willing to share the moment with me as something I loved finished. I'm definitely going to remember that.
I really hope that by the time you read this, we're still on each others plurks or whatever the newfandangled thing is- and that I know you better! Because it seems to me that anyone with you as a friend is very fortunate indeed. C: I also hope this new year brings you only good things. <3
Love from Caity
P.S You and Rox combined are like the two halves of a complete cute-sploshion team on plurk.

So many wonderful things that I never expected happened after I joined Animus in January, and I think finding you was one of the most unexpected of them all. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to find someone so creative, so welcoming, so friendly and easy to talk to. Better still, I never thought that I'd find out this person would be living without driving distance, and that they would want to see me regularly. That we'd meet at A-kon and have a six-hour long conversation that we'd have a hard time stopping even for Quintin Flynn, when it could so easily have been awkward or my shyness could have won over.
You're just...amazing, you know that? And I think things are only going to get better for you from here, even if it is hard sometimes. Know that I want to be there when it does get hard, and I hope that by next year's time capsule, for years and years to come, we're still friends, regardless of what games we're in, or where we're living, or even what fandoms we're in.
Thank you for being my friend, for being there so many times when I've needed it, for giving me something to look forward to when I've been at my worst. Hell, for dealing with me at my worst. Thank you for all the long conversations and movies and trips to Stake and Shake, and for the brownie breakfast and cheese bun lunch that we clearly need to repeat sometime. Thank you for the wonderful threads and tags and feelings. Thank you for everything, Gorse.
Know that you've been a wonderful part of my year, and I look forward to that continuing for the year to come.

I want to say thank you for that. You are a bright and very intelligent person who deserves to be proud of how much she's achieved this year, and I think you'll be surprised to find that, in 2013, there's going to be so many more achievements you'll have access to.
But remember the small achievements as well. Remember the people you make smile, and the times you spend with others. Sometimes the little things go a really long way, and there are a lot of little things that you do every day to make you proud of yourself, and make others love you dearly.
Happy new year sweetheart.
