This mix is my year. It's linear, so if you're looking for a work of art this is not it. My year started off with a medical issue and falling in love with a skinny boy who loved to paint. Summer, he was gone in a most awful way, and I was quite shaken. Slowly, I got over it with roadtrips and a lot of love from my best friends. The last three months of this year I found confidence, strength, and that fear has no place in my brain.

Thanks, 2010. You taught me well.
