Here I am

They tell you a good girl is quiet
That you should never ask why
Cause it only makes it harder to fit in
You should be happy, excited
Even if you're just invited
Cause the winners need someone to clap for them

It's so hard just waiting
In a line that never moves
It's time you started making
Your own rules

You gotta scream until there's nothing left
With your last breath
So here I am
Here I am
Make em listen
Cause there is no way you'll be ignored
Not anymore
So here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am

You only get one life to work it
So who cares if it's not perfect
I say it's close enough to perfect for me
Why should you hide from the thunder
And the lightening that your under
Cause there ain't nobody else you want to be

If how your living isn't working
There's one thing that will help
You gotta finally just stop searching
To find yourself

[Chorus]

The world better make some room
Yea move over, over
Cause your coming through
Cause your coming through

[Chorus]

So we're about to ring in the new year. I chose to post the lyrics to the above song, Here I Am, because its pretty much my theme song for 2009. I won't tell you what its from or why I know about you because you'd make fun of me and its besides the point. I often feel like I hide out in the shadows and I think that needs to change.

So for 2009, I resolve to let myself shine, there's no reason that the world shouldn't see how amazing I am. And that may seem conceited, but we're all amazing in some way or another and everyone should see that. The end of 2008 has really made me step back and take a look at myself and I think it will help 2009 be a memorable year of new beginnings and the start of many phenomenal years yet to come.

I have so many dreams that I can only focus on a few this year, I'm going to graduate from grad school, maybe apply to a physical therapy program but most of all, I'm going to focus on being me and not what everyone else wants me to be. And hopefully sometime in 2009, I'll find myself in the arms of the man I love, something that I only seem to be able to dream about right now.

So to the few people who read this:

Happy New Years to you all, may your 2009 be as blessed as I know mine will be!
