It's funny, because at the end of the day I always lament over what I don't have, but as I look back on the past year, I have SO MUCH. So so so soooo much! I need to keep this high going because I have so much going for me; [I believe that] I have so much potential. You are only one major pothole in the road, among the myriad of green lights I can run. [I still miss us terribly, but] Whatever happens, happens. We'll just say that for now.

"This is the good life!"
