Life changing trip

Jul 14, 2007 02:30

I cant believe how happy and different i feel. I took a trip recently for a week with a group of people that i could say I knew but never wouldve hung out with. By the end of this trip i feel so connected with them...i can honestly say that i trust them and that they have become some of my good friends. This trip opened my eyes to soo many things. I climbed up the hardest mountain in the smokey mountains...I was soo tired i honestly thought i wouldnt be able to make it...not to mention how scary it was climbing up the last few feet to the peek of the mountain. It showed me that I really can push through hard times. Then just really bonding with people in general. We worked hard together...we played...we camped!..I enjoyed these people for every moment i had with them. Every new experience every set back every happy moment it was nice having them. Emily was a new comer who im excited to call my friend...shes a great person like her brother and older sis. Laura I just gained another level of respect...she is such a strong person who is a wonderful role model for how to be and act...w/o her nothing wouldve happened and her friendship is truley a gift. And lets face it Aj kept us all alive...i hope he knows what a great person he knows. As we went white water rafting I realized my nature was one of a caretaker....Will was in the front of the raft with me and we went down this one crazy rapid where Will was about to fall out and I instinctly held on to him as tightly as I could. It made me see that no matter what my role will be to take care or attempt to save people in some way. Im happy to know this about myself. Then spending the day in town w/everyone l had soo much fun. I laughed so much...drank amazing beer..(w/the great Aj and Will) and then again laughed so much later that night w/everyone. Kol was one who always made me laugh like crazy. People in general just pleasantly surprised me. Jessica and Ashley are now close friends and just great people that I got to know. Mikey is always a great person w/a kind soul...and nick and cassie are just amazing individuals. Nick really made my trip when he set up the panda trap that brought me Smitty. He did something just to be nice. Nick and I had some problems earlier in the semester and I can say I completely forgive him for everything. This gives me hope for fixing other damaged relationships that i cherish...mainly with kyle. Hope is something that im regaining and friends are something that mean the world to me again. My eyes are open now to a lot of wonderful things around me and Im going to try my best to be a great friend for everyone...to get become tight again w/great friends like dan who i feel i kinda lost touch with but im going to try and change that...bc good friends like him are def hard to come by. And finally im just happy bc im finally just enjoying the good in my life....so Hugs for everyone! Ok im done for now i know no one reads this but if anyone does sorry for it being so long this is my first happy entry and I havnt felt this good in forever! if anyone needs cheerin up gimme a call and i will give ya a hug!
