The Last of 09.

I must say that 09 has brought a lot of ups and downs for me, and I've grown so much this whole year, I learned a lot about life, about myself, and about the people who surround me. I've lost some friends that I never thought I would lose, but the loss gave way to new friendships I've never thought I could have. It's been a full year of changes for me, and as the clock ticks, with only a few minutes left til midnight, I can honestly say everything was worth it. I've done a number of things I never thought I would do, I've gone to places I never thought I would go.

And all these moments I've spent, I've made a lot of mistakes, and learned from them. 2010 is another year ahead, with big opportunities, another chapter of my life. I'm turning 17 soon, and even if I thought I'd do more on my 16th year, I'm content. I'm ready for 2010, for the challenges that have yet to come, for all the laughter, the tears, the anger, the sadness, the love, the hate, everything the year has to offer.

Happy New Year.
