This year has been one of discovery.
I began not expecting what would happen, but I did feel an immense burden. I was an "adult", whatever that meant. I was scared. I did not know what kind of world I would have to face.
But I kept running forward, my face to the wind, and never gave in.
At times, I would be extremely hurt. I would hear or see things and question myself. I would be crushed under the immense pressure of handling things by myself.
These moments would help me to realize that I, like everyone else, am not invincible. But I never gave in and kept going forward, and for this strength, I am truly grateful. I am truly grateful to the people in my life.
18 - thank you for allowing me to discover who I am even more. I hope to remember you in a fond light, forever the age where I moved one step forward in this journey.

Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?
Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?
They ask me
"The beginning or the end?"
"Did you give up
Or are you holding on?"
"Are you shrugging off
Or in despair?"
You tell me
Just to go forward
And that's exactly what I'll do.
