The Brink Of Thirty

I've officially been twenty-nine years old for one day.

To me, this is when the new year actually begins. I wasn't born January 1st. Therefor, the new year doesn't begin until my new year begins. So, right now is the start of my new year. My 2009. My 29.

Over the past few years I've had my up's and my down's. I've been through my own trials and errors and successes. I've had my problems. I've kept my promises. I've had my heart broken and I'm sure I've broken some hearts. I've learned to trust and I've trusted too much. I've broken trust and some have lost my trust in them. I'm still lonely. Yet, I'm surrounded by people who love me dearly.

All I know for certain is this: Everything I have done, am doing or will do, is mine.

In twenty-nine years, I have learned one important lesson: As dark as the path ahead may be, it's still my path to light.

I accept, love and hold myself completely responsible for every experience I haved had.

I now sit here, in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm supposed to be back in Manhattan. Plans change. Life goes on.

Here's to 29 more.
