"Firework"

In 2010,
I nursed a broken heart back together.
I turned 18 years old and registered to vote before I got my driver's license.
I skipped out on my Senior prom.
I started my first novel.
I told everyone not to Rain on My Parade.
I closed the chapter of my life known as "The Dumpee Diaries".
I stood in a line, dressed as a blob of orange, and graduated high school.
I butchered the school fight song as a final "Fuck You!" to high school and never looked back.
I had a going away party while my parents weren't home.
I went to my 10 year Kindergarten class reunion.
I welcomed my honorary niece into the world.
I moved out of my small town for good.
I became Quidditch team Co-Captain, Editor of the Literary Magazine, Resident Idol and the newest Radio Intern in Laredo.
I contemplated: "Is He gay or European?"
I became close friends with my exboyfriend's brother, saying hello to a new person in my life while saying goodbye to another.
I almost knocked out half a hockey team but got back up on the ice.
I made a second family and discovered the best friends a girl could have.
I finished the year baking, optimistic about the upcoming Glee auditions and optimistic about the world in front of me.

Hello 2011. I can't wait to see what shit I get myself into as I greet you. :)
