Just when I think I can’t go on…
I pop some bubbly and regain my strength.
The strength I need to keep on going; the strength I need to cling to, even when it seems like all is lost.
Here’s to being 25.

kristina
June 12, 2010 at 5:02 am^meant to say “you’re” young. you being a writer can appreciate my correction right? also, just as a side note, i’m just now reading “PREP,” ~ I absolutely love Curtis’s writing style, such a good read!! Her style kind of reminds me of yours actually. i’m moving onto “American Wife” soon.
