on the road to enlightenment

It's just occurred to me how intense these first three months of 2012 have been. I've experienced a lot of firsts and it's been such a crazy year.... ALREADY!

I've...
gotten my first kiss at midnight on new year's
been in love
gone to Austin with my boyfriend and best friend
experienced the most perfect moment with my boyfriend while he got his first tattoo
recieved a dozen of roses for the first time
gone through my first break up/heartbreak
gone on an insane 22 hour road-trip
gone to VEGAS with my best friend for her 21st birthday!!
gone to Galveston with my two favorite people: Brittanie and Melissa
lost 15 pounds!
gone to south by southwest with three of my best friends
danced on coyote ugly's bar
finally recieved my driver's license license!!!!

And it's ONLY April... I'm pretty sure the rest of this year is going to be a wild ride. I'm more than ready to see where 2012 takes me!

"the rest of your life is a long time

whether you know it or not, it's being shaped right now

you can choose to blame your circumstances on bad luck or bad choices

...or you can fight back

things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is

but for the most part, you get what you give

your life is being shaped right now

with the dreams you chase

with the choices you make

and the person you decide to be

the rest of your life is a long time

and the rest of your life starts right now"
