Happy New Years guys. This thing took 3 freaking hours to make but totally worth it. I don't want to get too cheesy cause that's gonna earn me some bricks and Jupiters in the face so let's keep this somewhat short and sweet. 2013 had it's own set of unique memories, some of them not as good as the others. Honestly speaking, this year contained a lot of , but it's those happy days that made those bad days worth it. I've unconsciously changed a bit, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, I'm not too sure. But I've learned to not let anyone try to change me. Because I'm imperfect, perfectly insane, and I like it that way. So to wrap this all up before I go into full cheesy mode and cannot be stopped: smiles were made, tears fell, friendships ended, hearts broke, but as we all know, life hates us and things get worse. So all you're gonna have to do is face reality and keep moving. Don't put your happiness in someone else's hands. They'll drop it - they'll drop it every time. So be positive, take charge of your own happiness, and no matter how hard things get, just smile like an idiot. 

Here's an idea. This year, make a star everyday you felt went by happily. By the end of the year, you might just be surprised at how many good days you've had.

This new year, I'm hoping to finally be more productive. Draw, read, and write a lot more and be able to find my style in drawing and writing. Get back in dancing and practice my singing. But most importantly, to find myself and my own happiness. Fight for the right to be you sunshines make sure you never let someone bend you to their liking.

May this new chapter to your story be a beautiful one.
