Tomorrow is Christmas, and I still cannot even believe it. This year has gone by so fast, and so slow all at the same time. This year, I have grown so much as an artist and as a person. I am understanding the inner-workings of complex song writing, and loving every minute of it. I have done so many things this year that were terrifying, but I didn't let that stop me. I auditioned for AMTC. I pursued my dreams through AMTC. I auditioned for American Idol, and was okay when I didn't get through. I really feel like I have accomplished a lot! I have perfected four songs, and written five, and I am still writing more! I played a lead role in my high school's production of Steel Magnolias. That was really my first taste of what it is like to be an actor, and it only makes me want more! So much has happened in these 365 days and I wouldn't take back a single thing. Every mistake, every awkward moment, every heartbreak, every smile, it all lead me to be the person and artist that I am today, and I couldn't have asked for a better year. I have made some wonderful friends, and learned that some people will never be my friends. And I finally realize, that I have to be okay with that. I have to let go of some relationships and hold strong to the ones that count. Every person I have come in contact with this year, was put in my life for a specific reason. God has a plan you guys, and weather I can see it right now or not, He is still in control. That is something that I really need to spend more time appreciating.

This has been a wonderful year<3
