‘Cause the Remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liason.
I says the comedy is that its serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words.
I say the tragedy is how you’re gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends.
When it all amounts to nothin’ in the end.

I (I won’t) – I won’t worry my life away (hey, oh-oh)

You’re probably wondering…what?What’s up with the lyrics?…dont worry, I’m getting there.

As many of you may have noticed, I’ve stopped blogging. I don’t know why, i guess i’ve just been letting other things get in the way. But today(please excuse the fact that i began a sentence with but) as i was driving home from the Trinity Center, a song came on. The one above. It’s called “The Remedy”. I’ve been aware of this song’s existence for quite a while, but i’ve actually taken the time to listen to it. As i listened to that particular part above, it hit me. I DON’T NEED TO WORRY. Mrs. Allan taught me that. Maybe she hasn’t realized it, but she’s taught me many things. How to pace myself in life and in school work, and how to never let anyone get in the way of my dreams. So as im starting this school year as a Senior, i’m letting go. Letting go of my worries, my fears, things that have always held me back from things such as going out with friends, signing up for that highly difficult class, playing ultimate frisbee at 10 at night, or telling my boyfriend that sometimes i just wanna hang out with my friends. No more. No more worrying about what the future may hold and what career i think i can succeed in. I know that if my mind to it and give it my all, I CAN DO ANYTHING. I truly believe this. So, here’s to you Mrs. Allan and to the new year. I’m happy now and I’m ready…for anything. “i won’t worry my life away.”    -keri menard, student, teenager, dreamer.
