"You're my survival, you're my living proof my love is alive and not dead"

Hello wonderful readers & people who randomly find this 10 years from now,
My life has been rather interesting lately. I had some highs, lows, and maybes. The last three months of my life have been spent practicing for this big singing production that my school puts on. Everyone gets really into it and wants to be in as many songs as possible. I chose to lead three groups and did the best I possibly could with each and every one of them. They were songs that I love with all my heart and soul. I loved each and every one of the people in them. The practices were fun and definitely some of the highlights of my year so far. I have a bad feeling that none of the songs made the show. I prayed about it and kept my fingers crossed that I would achieve success. Deep down inside I'm a sore loser. I hate when other people beat me at things. I try to appreciate the games that I have win and what i'm good at, BUT in the back of my mind there's this little voice saying : you lost, you lost. I'm working on getting over it.

I also took more interest in my piano playing. I went to regional piano festival and achieved a two rating. Not bad, but it's not a 1. Thats the highest score. I think you're seeing this trend. I've started my year off on a losing streak, and I don't like it. But i'm determined to change things around or at least learn to be happy with less. March 1st is not only the great Justin Bieber's eighteenth birthday (my man is growing up!), but it's the day that I get to see Drake live! I am beyond excited. Drake is not only handsome, but one of the best rappers of our time and I get to see him from row 17. AHHHHH!!! It makes me so happy. You know you'll get the full play by play after I go.

Valentines day is around the corner. All people seem to be talking about is "why is eveyrone talking about valentines day so much" , not realizing that by saying that they're part of the reason people are talking about it. A wise friend of mine said, "I don't see why people are always sad on valentines day. They were single the day before and the day before that and didn't complain". I guess sometimes when you move through day to day life you don't realize that you're lonely. You only see clearly when everyone else seems to be with someone and you're along eating frosting and watching the notebook for the millionth time. I personally like Valentines Day. I like the idea of dedicating a whole day to Love. Of all the emotions in the world, Love is the most magical one. It makes people do crazy things and see life in a whole different way. What's not to love about love? If you're with someone do all you can to enjoy the day. If you're not then appreciate the fact that love is there and hold on to the hope of finding it someday.
