Change is inevitable. You may not like it, but you have to learn how to deal so you can move forward with your life.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
"A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last...The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls...If you think you might come to California, I think you should...And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass...It's been so long since I've seen the ocean, I guess I should."
