Your blood is only your blood until it stops flowing
Your friends are only your friends until they turn on you
Your hometown is only your hometown until you move away
Your interests are only your interests until you find something better
Your situations are only situations until you make the decision to change them

Last weekend I did something I never thought myself capable of. I pulled someone who was pushing and hitting my friend off and held him until I thought he had calmed down. He hadn't calmed down and ended up being herded out of Southmore by a giant flock of angry punk kids, but I still felt so good about myself. I didn't even have to think about what I was doing; I just did it. It really made me want to start standing up for myself and my friends more. And so I've come to the conclusion that...

Even though I have some doubts about myself and my accomplishments, I am proud of who I am and I'm proud of the people I've put myself in the company of, and I wanted you all to know that.

Though I'm usually reluctant to admit it, though I am lonely and have many things to work on, life is ok. It really is.
