keep it up and don't give up..

this year, i have learned how to be a person again. how to have feelings (even when i wished i didn't). how to practice compassion. how to help. how to care, and manage, and mediate. how to act on what i know is right. how to live by my morals - i always knew i had them for a reason. how to be open-minded. how to love. how to forgive (properly).

i have learned what makes me happy - really happy. and what makes me sad, and hurt. and that hurt goes away, and sadness fades. i have learned the value of purpose and drive and motivation. i have learned that it's okay to be confidant. it's even a little bit okay to be over-confidant. it's okay to be proud sometimes, and to feel pretty. it's okay to feel self-sufficient.

i have a plan. i have a life. i have animals that make me smile and laugh. i have involvement in things that make me feel useful and appreciated. i have a job, but that is secondary. i have a soul mate. i have friends.

i believe in making a difference. in loving with all your heart. in changing the world with the things you know. in doing all you can for others and yourself.

i have cried a lot this year. but i have also felt more love and faith than ever before. i am okay with where i am. i feel like i can do what i dream.

i am thankful every day for you. i look to god and i cry and say thank you. because i don't know where i'd be.

my parents think this year was about mistakes, but i know this year was about success.

things are okay.

i am okay.

they're your dreams... make them as big as you want them to be.
