OCTOBER 2006 - THIS ENTRY FOR ME.
Last night, I took a long drive to visit my brother and on that long drive I did a lot of thinking. I sorted out my thoughts and priorities. I sort of re-evaluated my life for right now, this moment in time. I had thoughts concerning friendships and how I played roles in those friendships. I thought of how some of my "friends" WEREN'T playing any role in the friendship we shared at all.
I realized that my priorities are as follows in order from most important to least important:
1.) FUN - I'M gonna participate in activities that I think are fun, not what everyone else think are fun. I mean, I basically always have; but I'm just gettin that out there. I don't do stuff just because other people do. TRUST ME.
2.) FRIENDS - I'm gonna try to become a better friend towards the ones who deserve it (the ones that are good friends to me no matter what).
3.) GRADES - I'm lucky to have parents who care about my grades; that way I keep them up and have a higher chance to get into college and even a scholarship if I try hard enough. I like to think about the future and consequences for the actions I take.
4.) HEALTH - I'm gonna start paying attention to what I eat (not a diet). Some foods people eat for no reason these days are ridiculous. I don't want to be a cow when I grow up or die when I'm 30.
5.) FAMILY - I'm gonna try to become a better daughter and sister. I'm gonna *TRY* to be more helpful and patient.
6.) NEW FRIENDS - My new goal is to make a new friend every week. That way I can learn from different people with different backgrounds and such instead of just sticking to the same couple of people everyday. I'm trying to expand my horizons.
All of these thoughts were getting me depressed just thinking about the past and an empty future, but when I got to see my brother it just brightened my whole week. He can make you laugh at the drop of a dime. I love that boy with all my heart. I hope that everyone gets a chance to meet someone like him. There aren't many. :)
