y'know what they say..

all good things must come to an end.

actually, i hate this saying, and i don't believe it at all, but i suppose when it comes to things like christmas break, it's inevitably true.

but this is not going to be a bitter post displaying my resentment for this unstoppable concept we call "time." instead, it's meant to celebrate the fact that while time truly does fly, there is much to be thankful for in the past month.

for instance, my sister getting accepted into a college of her liking, the family vacation to california, my uncle and aunt trekking over from hong kong to visit, a white christmas, my first snowboarding experience, texas winning the rose bowl, and my dad getting a job offer just to name a few in a single breath.

i'm not exactly sure why, but there just always seems to be an extra hop to my step when spring semester rolls around, and this year is no different. i'm psyched about this semester. i feel like i have some unfinished work to do, some harvested energy left to unleash. more or less, i feel like last semester pulled a quick one on me and just flew by, leaving me rather speechless as to where all the time had gone.

5 semesters down, 5 to go. as i return to austin today, i will be starting the 2nd half of my college career. it's been an awesome 1st half..

..and yet something tells me the best is yet to come :)

GET EXCITED!

Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed

cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need

and today I will trust you with confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency

and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength

and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you

and I know you know
you touched my life
when you touched my heavy heart and made it light
