"And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
And everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned."

Hello
ReplyDeleteBrandy's album is amazing. I honestly think she did a better job of using the voice synthesizer throughout an entire album than Kanye did. Seems like you had a great year. I envy your love, I really do. It's rare to have that kind of passion and commitment to a bond and its growth at a young age, especially with the amount of immaturity that pervades our age demographic of this generation. Seldom do people want to invest themselves and their time, energy, effort, money, and thoughts into someone else over an extended period of time.
ReplyDeleteIt's also hard to care about someone more than you care about yourself. That's been my Achilles heel.....
I wish you a great 2009.
