Trust only in God and love yourself.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I just love the song Shine
by Black Gold, and although it debuted in 2009, it became popular this year after being used on SYTYCD. There are several verses right in a row that really symbolically describe feelings I’ve had this year and it’s kind of deep, so I won’t go into it right now…But here are the verses:
Devotes her mind
To thoughts divine
For all that she needed
And all that she love.
Recites the lines
Repeats the rites
To all that she needed
And wanted most.
Won’t you shine tonight,
In the face of the light.
With you on my mind,
I can make it through,
Make it through the night.
She bides her time
With quiet pride
For all that she wanted
And all that she love.
She begs and pleads
He’s all she needs
And ever wanted
She calls out again.
