one day there will be a celebration throughout oz that's all to do with me:

"2007 was the best year of my life.
i've never found so much. i've never
grown so much.
And yet, it also feels true to say that 2007 was the hardest
year of my
life.
i've never lost so much, and i've never hurt so
much.

Perhaps you can relate."

This quote is all too true for me. This last year I have lost my grandpa and have had dozens of new responsibilities shoved on me. I was forced to grow up, to learn to take care of myself, to push myself away enough so that i wouldn't be so lost when someone wasn't there for me. I changed as a person, from this naive, shallow girl to something that i haven't quite figured out yet.

i'm still naive, i'm still shallow, i'm still a kid who knows nothing about the world.

but now i believe in love, i believe in loss. i believe in hate, regret, and all these other things that i pushed myself to stop believing in in the past.

i'm not happy, i'm nowhere near happy, but i'm trying.

  1. 2007 was a hard year.
    but it was also good.
    we've both grown up and matured. and that's always a good thing.

    and 2008 can only get better.
