Happy New Year's Eve!!!

Hey guys! I can't believe this year is almost through! It's insane. Looking back at this year...I find it somewhat successful. I had a great time...and I learned a lot about who I am and about my friends. I will say, it was a really tough year, but there was so much fun through it all. As a quick overview, I met a great new friend who is absolutely AMAZING!, I was in  "Once Upon A Mattress," I had my grandparents come out (but they do every year), a friend and I made up after like a year of not being friends (and that was actually partially in 2010, not 2011), my mom got remarried, I was in "Children of Eden," I met another great person!, and I had my birthday (but that's annually...so whatever), and I had a lot of late nights with some friends, I started my blog, I stuck through a friendship that was going south for a while, I learned some very important things about myself, and I am starting to recover from some things! It's really been interesting, and it's defiantly been an adventure. I can't wait to see what 2012 is like! Hopefully, a year to remember. :) Here are some quotes for all of you. Happy New Year's Eve! And I hope you enjoyed this year, if not...clean slate for next year!

Crying at night? Need some quotes to help?

Hey guys, so I'm sure we all have had those days where everything just seems to go wrong and you feel completely worthless. Well, I've had a lot of those this past month for multiple reasons, and I wouldn't have gotten through it without my friends, and these quotes. So, here are a few that have really helped me!

Just keep pushing through and know that somewhere in the world, somebody is routing for you! You're amazing! Don't forget that. :)

Just some quotes...

There is a lot of stuff going on in my life and these few quotes kind of sum it all up, plus they are really good quotes too. They don't all go for just one thing happening in my life, like I said I'm going through different things, so they mean different things to me. So, I hope you like them!

"I want a friend who can see the tears behind my smile. Someone who can tell I am sad, when I fool everyone else. I want a friend who isn't afraid to say, 'I'm there for you, just because you're my friend.' I want a friend who will stick up for me, talk to me, and just plain be my friend no matter who's around. I want a friend who can make me laugh, or cry, or anything else in-between. I want a friend who won't get mad at me over the stupidest stuff. I want a friend who is honest and will tell me anything, no matter what. I want a friend who when I look sad, comes over to me and asks, 'what's wrong?' I tell them, 'nothing, just tired.' Sees I'm lying and won't leave my side until I tell them. That's what I want in a friend. If you're not it, then you're not my best friend that I absolutely love, you're just a friend." -Mary Ann Inserra
