This song has always resonated with me, and finding out that one of the co-writers was none other than David Bowie, it explains a bit of why. The Broadway cast of American Idiot version still gives me goosebumps, and after the events of the last week, really resonates a lot harder.

The day after my birthday I found the seeming end of my own road, and my own soul was broken by things that had come to pass. Being in ruins was an understatement. I took actions that ended up with me in the hospital, and found out very quickly who my true friends were and are.

I find myself lucky to have another try, to make my life what I want it to be. I'm standing on the road with many avenues before me, and right now, I've got to decide which to take. Some are definite, others not so much. I've got to decide what is worth living for, what is worth fighting for. Is it worth the pain? Is it worth the trouble? All I know is that I've got a lot of things to think about, and that I've got some awesome friends to support me.
