2025

I will be unafraid of my future because I'll grow into who I want to be. 

I will know I can do things I never thought of because I got through high school. 

I will remember that I didn't need a man because I survived with my family by my side. 

I will cry over my heartbreak and sorrow, but I know I'll be okay because I've been okay before. 

I will go to Guatemala for six weeks and enjoy pushing my comfort zone because I dream of traveling. 

I will smile when I'm sad because I want to strive for happiness even when it feels like all is lost. 

I will turn 19 and be one step closer to adulthood and I'll gather my courage and face the world head-on because that's who I am.

    I carved your name in the raw top,

    maybe I can grant your wish and be yours, 

    perhaps I can wish you over with sweets.
