it's nice to feel hopeful, i've got that 1945 feeling, the war is ending, the enemy is backed into its last corner. dawn is breaking.

my heart is beginning to unfreeze.

i'm not scared anymore. i want to go out into the world and make it drum to my beat. no more following. no more running away. time to face my future. time to make my place in the world. my own unique, quirky place.

i'm not like all the other girls. i don't care about make up and the right boy. i just want to be me, no more putting myself on ice for anyone. no more waiting for a dream of someone who never really wanted me anyway. i'm alive right now, and i owe it to myself to live for the moment. taste the freedom.
