So, pending recent circumstances and the fact that I’m graduating soon, as well as the fact that I have had to go through this planty of times, I feel the need to tell ya whats on my mind. First off can I just say that freidnships evolve and are constantly changing and people come in and out of your life all the time? I think I should. Plus, no relationship (friendship or significant other) should be one sided. One person shouldn’t have to do all the work and it shouldn’t always be their fault whenever anything happens. Plus, this isn’t about just one person in particular cuz I could think of upteen people who thsi could be directed at, probably myself at one point in time, but merely that I am sharing what I have learned in the past four years. I’m jut passing the wisdom on, or what I at least hope is wisdom.
Life is too short to be always worrying about what other people think. I mean, you should care what you’re friends think, within reason, but at the end of the day, you’re the one that has to live with yourself and you’re the only person you can never get rid of so if you like yourself, screw everyone else. High school is a very small portion of your life, therefore, whatever pain you’re going through that has to do with the dreaded “high school drama” will pass and it’s really not a big deal. My biggest motto in life : ALWAYS FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE is probably the best thing I have taken from anyone ever (thank you Mr. Perry). Treasure all the people you have in your life, and if you have a problem with them, talk about it and get over it, because once you don’t see them anymore you wish you did and you’ll wish that you would have mended your friendship. If you have a problem with someone, tell them, but LISTEN to them as well; there are always two sides to every story. Pay attention in class and in life, you learn more that way, and I’m not just talking about academic wise. I have probably learned more life lessons in my classes because I paid attention and didn’t sit and bitch about having to be at school.
and please don’t think I am a saint or trying to be one, trust me, I have made plenty of mistakes and have definitly not followed my own advice a time or two (at least). I’m just trying to share things I have learned through my own mistakes…
* Sooo, I just found this on my blog on my myspace. Wrote it towards the end of my senior year of high school, so almost two years ago now. Sometimes I miss this person, who I was at that point in my life. I still am the same person, obviously, but I have changed a lot in that amount of time. Some for the better, and some for the worst, let’s be honest. I’m more cynical, sarcastic, and suspicious of other’s intentions than I was then. I’m less quick to trust now. But, I am a much much stronger person than I used to be. Sure this was written Post-Vinny (which that whole deal is a complete other story) and so I was stronger then than at the beginning of my senior year, but last year and this past semester have made a a much stronger person than I ever thought I would be.
Anyway, enough of memory lane, bak to being the ridiculous, sarcastic and easy-going person I am normally :)
