One step forward, two steps back.

December 2, 2009 (My 17th B-day)
That's how my night ended last night and how my day started out today. It was an awful feeling, and I truly hate it. It is no way to spend a birthday. Throughout the day I realized little things which all came together in the end. I came to the realization that I appreciate everyone I know. Every person I know has taught me something, especially my friends. Past, present, and future; I am glad you are all in my life and a part of who I am. Past friends, I miss you and I hate that things changed and I hate that I lost you. Present friends, I learn new things everyday from you and I am growing constantly even though some days I feel like I've tumbled down the mountain of everything I strive to be. You are what drives me. Future friends, I am excited to hear your stories, learn your lessons, and be a part of your lives and adventures. You all really do care about me and I am so thankful for you. Thank you for a great birthday, thank you for Jeffery, thank you Mom, thank you Emily, thank you Kelsey.
