The Day After The Anniversary of my 21st Birthdays.
It’s a start of a new birth-year, a new cycle in being alive. Each birthday, I realize while I don’t feel older, I do feel wiser and more certain of certain things. Today, it’s time to let go of certain things. This year, I will never again be someone’s back-up plan. I know what I’m worth, and if anyone else cannot see that, or they are too afraid to see that, it’s their loss. Not mine. And it stops today. Life lesson learned.
Even with the light all around you, you’re all alone in the dark. You’re breaking your own heart. Taking it too far down the lonely road. You say you just want love, but when its close enough you let it go… but you don’t have to walk in the shadows. Life is so hard.

Early in the morning, feet stuck on the ground,
Got to fix my cup of caffeine then I’m turning things around,
Climbing up the mountain, a piano on my back
Got to cut it loose, throw away the noose,
And forget about the past.
I know you’re gonna say I’m not cool enough,
Tell all your friends I screwed it up,
I couldn’t give two shits just let me breathe.
Leaving it behind me, snake skin in my tracks,
The venom could have killed me, I sucked it up and spit it back.
When you finally close the window, you find an open door
But it’s up to you, will you walk right through and forget about the fall.

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it
seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.
I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both
hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
