Preparing a "Goodbye" for 21

The clock is ticking as I look back at this year, 21 years old.
Nothing changed much.
I'm still the same person as I was two years ago.

At the age of 21, the only thing I could do easier is buy beer, since I'm allowed to drink any kinds of booze legally right now.
But other than that, life gets harder.  I get weaker.
I get tired.

I learned a lot during this past year.
I learned to not trust a person easily (especially after what John did to me. Oh haha I'm still talking about this shit).
I learned that I can depend on no one, and I mean NO ONE. Not for help during chores, or to get things done, nothing. I learned that life is really personal, it's just you and your responsibilities.
I learned to accept this weird relationship between me and my father.
I learned that life is fair. And you have to be ready to accept any kinds of consequences that goes along with it.
I learned that their IS such things as a heartless parent.
I learned that it's okay to have a broken heart. It's okay to not even bother to fix it.
I also learned that we need to focus on things that matters most instead of thinking of the past.
I learned that it's okay to CRY.

I also learned that life doesn't wait for me. It keeps moving.
Oh yeah, I also learned that 24 hours is NEVER ENOUGH!!!
I learned that once we got a good community that does something REALLY productive it gets contagious.
I learned that it's not just me in this world.
And I learned that friends can become family, good friends I mean.
I also learned that life is better if you have a sense of humor:p

Walking alongside year 21 of my life, I am ready to open a brand new page.
I'm still the same, though.
My dreams haven't changed.

I'm more braver to reach for my dreams, though.
I'm more certain of where I want to head.

I may be in a dark place now, but I know there's a rainbow after the rain.

As I prepare my goodbye to 21 and hello to 22, I state: I learned a lot, my character grew! I know what I want and I truly believe He has a beautiful plan for me in the future! Amin!
