trophy display of bruises

you cannot honestly tell yourself you are completely happy until you've gotten everything sorted out. I've always been known as a wild, outgoing, free-spirited type of person. I care too much for others, and sometimes forget that I need to focus a good amount of that attention to myself. I think that over the past year... I have done that, and getting better at it. If you really got to know me well, I am also a jealous, sensitive yet forgiving person. Right now life is going pretty smoothly, facing normal struggles of a young adult college student. So I'm writing this because I needed to express how much I wanted to clear all negative ties I have with certain people, ideals, issues, and just continue to live life to the fullest but with a wider, larger, even more open mind. Coming and going from a small town on Long Island really gets you trapped in this small "bubble" of what is considered a normality when really, there is a bigger world out there. Take the tragedies in Haiti for instance, there are still a good handful amount of people who do not realize how fortunate they are and are oblivious to what's really going on in the world. Here is to my past experiences, today and the amazing future to come. My advice: forgive, forget, drink a beer and live.
