Last day of a crazy year

To the things that have contaminated my life in the year of 2008,

Today is your last day.

You have hurt me more than anything yet consoled me more than anyone. I could thank you & blame you all day. 

But today is the end. The end of the tears & hurt you have given me; but also, the end of the happiness you injected me with.

With only a few people to continue this new year with, I leave all the scars & scratches behind.

They hold memories & souveniers of a 365-day life that has taught me tremendous lessons.

I take those lessons carefully & I use them to my advantage.

Its time for my own rebirth.
 

Tomorrow is my first day.
