Here’s to every dilemma seeming like the end of the world
Here’s to unpredictable behavior that not even you understand.
Here’s to the lonely hollowness of unrequited love
Here’s to relationships that fizzle out as quickly as they began
Here’s to the tears wasted over meaningless stuff
Here’s to the world being against you
Here’s to the uncharted path of self discovery
Here’s to the phases and the phrases.
Here’s to the mistakes and bad decisions
Here’s to our teenage years, full of confusion and bitter tears

I saw a quote saying something about teenage years, drama, and tears, and I really really liked it so I switched it up a bit and made it something more.
