so today was a good day for me for some reason. school went by relatively fast and even though i failed an apbio quiz with a 33, i'm not even mad. came home and worked out for awhile then had dinner with the fam because everyone minus me and my mom were going to the shop to work on the karts since racing season is approaching soon. so me and my mom decided to go shopping because i need new nice dress clothes for youth court and all. then i came home and went and picked up juicy mama from work because MT bowls on tuesday nights. we went to marbars to see her prom dress then decided to go get ice cream but mudds was closed so we drove out to andersons. this boy that worked there made another girl that worked with him, walk up to me and give me his number. she was like 'i feel so dumb doing this but he asked if i would so here' and gave me a sheet a paper. it was pretty much ridiculously funny. then we left and were driving home down main street and we saw the weirdest guy..he had on a big black cloak with the hood up and was carrying a sword at his side with his head down. he looked like he was dressed up for halloween but we decided to pass by casually a few more times and we concluded that he was serious. kind-of weird but overall it was quite an adventure.
i've been thinking about things lately and i think i've just been putting my feelings about everything into over-drive and need to just take a step back for now. i have mixed emotions about a lot of stuff and i still let things get to me even though it really isn't healthy anymore..i just can't help it sometimes and i know that's not a good excuse at all but i just can't stop.. it's sort of like a slight addiction i really shouldn't have because it only leaves me confused and upset because he just makes it hard to walk away even though he already did? i'm stupid.. besides that though, i'm doing okay.. some other people never change you know?
so after i heard about all the recent tragedies that have been happening, it was just a reality check because people don't take enough time to try and see the good things that they have among the bad in life.. and it happens to the best of us. it's so easy to just not appreciate what you have and to take life for granted but it's not meant to be like that. "life's a gift and i don't intend on wasting it.." i'm going to follow that. you never know what's going to happen to you so just take it one day at a time but never stop living. i just think that's so important to hold on to even when times get rough. rip mark johnson and victims at virginia tech.
