My mom is amazing.

It's the truth...

In lieu of last year's post.

Here is to cherishing my last year of highschool, to letting go of all my anger and resentment, to continue taking chances, to working hard, to focusing, to being vibrant and to be true.

A year of drawings, paintings, loving people like Jesus loves me, wearing even stranger clothes. A year of becoming better at what I can do, of working extremely hard for my dreams, and to become less selfish.

Looking back at last year's post, I kinda smiled. I'm proud of what I did this last year, but dissapointed at the same time. I grew up and that scares me and excites me. I'm a different girl and I've had a hard time letting go of her, of last year's Kara. The Kara that had a lot of passion, but was naive and confused. She was good, but this year's Kara is so much better.

I can't wait for next year's. I want to be proud of her.

xoxo.

Happy weekend to you. :)
