Alright, thanks Dana. You've corrupted me. I've decided to continue the blog. At least for now.
So in the past school year I've been learning a ton about myself and other people and how the world around me works. And all I can say is... Wow... I wish I were a 3 year old again. Their lives seem so simple and adventurous and they dont have to worry about the annoyance of every day life. I do love life though and I try my hardest to find joy in the journey. Sometimes it's hard to find that joy but it's there. It just all depends on how willing you are to find it. I've been slowly learning how to get along with others, and get through hard situations with them (the past few weeks I haven't used very much grace in that department though...) I've been learning a lot about my likes and dislikes and my goals and the things I want to accomplish throughout my life. Mainly my high school and teenage years. This past year has certainly memorable, in both good and bad ways. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my entire life (again, in both good and bad reasons) than I have in the past year. I am grateful to everyone that helped me through the past year, even the people I barely got to know, you made an impact. And I'm so grateful for you. This sounds like the sappiest, dumbest thing ever, I'm aware. Well.... I'm technically a Junior now... I was kind of sad to see the end of Sophomore year. I had a lot of fun. I met some way cool new friends, sadly, lost some others. I had some wonderful classes and I really did start to develop a deeper love for learning. I love cars, especially older ones. Everyone has feelings, and they can get hurt easily. It's ok to be different, and the people that think you're dumb because of it aren't worth your time, you're not going through life to please them, you're going through it to become the best you you can be. I learned how to be a little bit more independant, and I'm slowly getting closer to becoming an actual adult (meaning responsible for yourself). I learned how to fill out forms and make phone calls to people to ask about/for things (something I've feared grately for quite some time). I made a quilt! I always thought quilting was so stupid but my mom said I had to make at least one quilt before I died and I did it and it was so much fun and I love it! I've learned that your friends can help you get through anything. No matter where they are. I don't know (or even want to think about) where I'd be without my Bella, Colton, Curtis, Cameron, Ben, Shelby, Whitney(s), Dan, Elise, Mamma, Dad, Holly, Parker, Karisa, Erika, Cody, Jake, Shay, Kevin, Ethan, and all my other friends too numerous to mention. I love you all. Thank you so much for everything. (Thanks Dana for pushing the blogging idea. Happy now?) I've learned lots of other things too but this entry is long enough so I'll leave it at that. But here is a quote to kind of sum it all up: "Sometimes nowhere leads to somewhere, but it's not over till it's over, every endings a new begining." -Jason Reeves
