Turning Tables

Turning tables means a change of the tides, a shift in change from weak to strong,submissive to dominant. That's how I feel like I'm trying to live these days. After a terrible 2010, I've been struggling to take one lesson learned from that year, if nothing else; to turn the tables.

I try to think back to New Years Eve 2010, standing on Las Vegas Boulevard with my best friend, her boyfriend, her brother, and his friends. I froze my ass off on that street, slightly drunk standing in heels and a dress. I was so happy though. This was so much better then another night at someone's house party for New Years Eve, or worse; a Bridget Jones inspired evening of solo wine induced sing-alongs to Sad FM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D0zfB1l1x0) .I was actually somewhere, doing something. I had just finished college, and although I was working a shit job as a waitress at a burger restaurant, I felt really independent at that moment. I had no clue what the year would bring for me.

I will later go in to details of the ups and downs of this past year, just starting this first blog to explain the title to my blog. But a few months in to 2011, I feel like I'm slowly turning tables. I went through a lot more in one year then I thought I could. I am by no means here to say woe is me, or compare myself to anyone or their tragedies. Just here to tell my story and how I'm turning tables.
