"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

2007 was a year of many first's and many last's. More than any before. In many ways, I guess I've learned, but in so many more I have yet to understand.

I have forgiven, never forgotten. I have been petty, often bitter. I have loved, often hated. I have smiled, also cried. I have said hello, and said goodbye. I have succeeded, and I have failed. I have risen above, and I have fallen. I have lied, and I have never been more honest. I have been proud, and never more ashamed. I have been happy, but never more scared.

So I am not sad to say goodbye to 2007. I'm glad it's over. I'm ready for 2008. It's going to be the best and worst year of my life. I can feel it.

And for as long as I can remember, I have believed in ringing in the year in the manner in which you wish to pursue the next 365 days. But for once, I hope that this is not the case. I have high hopes for you 2008; don't let me down.

Ready or Not, Here I Come?

All our lives, we've been told to "take our time" and think things through. But where is the line that divides "not ready" from "just prudent?" And which side am I on?  Better yet, how do I know which side I'm on? Being the way I am, I have always been someone who sits there and basically analyzes everything before anything important. So when do I know if I'm just being cautious and when I'm actually just not ready?  So where is that division?

When are you prudent and when are you just flat out, not ready?

Ohh, junior year is kicking my butt....

Everyday it seems like something is going on. If not one thing, then it's another. It really makes you wonder if life will ever just shut up and let you chiiilllll. I hope so. I'm getting sick&tired of all this ridiculous drama. It is so unnecessary, as are people's rude, inconsiderate, and just plain bitchy attitudes. What makes people think they are so much better than others?

On the other hand, there are some people who are the complete opposite. People with genuine, caring, open hearts. I've had the blessing of meeting a few of these people this year. I think I've grown to truly appreciate a good friend. To think that it doesn't always have to be like it was with them, you can have friends who you fit in with, who will listen, and just be with you for the sake of being with you. Better late than never, right? Thanks.

Through ups and downs, we've never given up. We've heard it all, from being too young, to being too close, to never going to make it. But we never once listened. Thanks for always having faith. We'll always have those rough things to deal with, I know that, but I also have faith that the core of it all will not waver. Yeah, we're young, yeah, we're too close, but we're blessed to have that, and I will never forget it.

times infinity plus two.

IT'S SUMMERRRRR

and i'm ready to play :)
