six feet under the stars

meet me on thames street. i'll take you out, though i'm hardly worth your time. in the cold you look so fierce. but i'm warming up because the tension's like a fire. we'll hit south broadway in a matter of minutes. and like a bad movie, i'll drop a line. fall in the grave i've been digging myself. but there's room for two, six feet under the stars.

i can't believe 2009 is almost here! this year has gone by soo fast and soo much has happened! i never thought i could experience as much as i did this year. sometimes, it doesn't feel as if it all happened. i lived most of my life in the shadow of others. i was a leader when i needed to be, but 75% of the time i was a follower. i went with the flow. i let people walk all over me. i forgave too easily. i learned a lot this year, and i love how it changed me for the better.

this year i became an adult. i graduated high school as senior class president with honors. i stepped up to the plate when i needed to. i let go of people who were holding me back. i re-established flickering relationships. i fell in love. i stood up for myself. i stopped letting someone use me. i put myself first when needed. i took on more responsibility. i lost a friend. i took chances. i met some heroes. i did something i never though i'd do. i had fun. i laughed. i cried. i had the best day of my life. i had amazing memories.

not all things go according to plan and that's what helps make life beautiful. this year hasn't all been a field of daisies and rainbows, but those bad times produced lessons. lessons i will forever remember. i can honestly say that this year has blown me away by it's beauty. i'm so blessed to be where i am today and to have experienced everything i have. i thank jesus everyday for the life he's given me.

if this year was this fantastic, then i can only imagine what 2009 is gonna be like, and i'm super stoked to find out!!! = D

merry late christmas and happy new year!!!
