I love me. I will do my best to become a better person because I know that if I do, it'll be a testament to all the people in my life that have cared about me and believed in me. I love me because I wanna be better and because I wanna say thanks.

So there ya go. It's not the most eloquent thing I've ever written but I don't wanna be eloquent right now.

Hopefully next year, when I turn 21, I can add another 1 to that list, maybe a Pacers championship? Haha. A special someone perhaps? :p
