40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

If everything turns into nothing, will you have anything to show
Will you be left alone
If this day were just a memory, how would you view it
How would you view yourself

We should live our lives the way that we want
It’s okay to think about yourself, if it makes you happy
We should treat each day as if we only have one
It’s okay to think about yourself

If tomorrow never happens, where will you find yourself at the end of today
If everything turns into nothing, how will you view it
How will you view yourself

We should live our lives the way that we want
It’s okay to think about yourself, if it makes you happy
We should treat each day as if we only have one
It’s okay to think about yourself

Too many people strive to be what others tell them to be
That means nothing
All those people misunderstanding
The point is, they should be themselves
Just be yourself

We should live our lives the way that we want
It’s okay to think about yourself, if it makes you happy
We should treat each day as if we only have one
It’s okay to think about yourself

Think about yourself
