Things lately...
Man, it's nice to be making money again.
Last night I went to the concert at East which is still fun even though I've graduated. It's always great to see the friends I spent years with and who helped shape me into the person I am now. The concert was great (yes, even concert band) and then a bunch of us went out to Applebees.
Gah, sometimes I wish I could just shake those kids (especially the lower classmen) and tell them to appreciate the experiences and education they are being blessed with now. Mr. Smith is a great man and the best teacher I have ever had. I say that with complete certainty. He's human, he makes mistakes, he gets pissed, but he is an amazing educator. He never let me sell myself short and glide through life. He taught me to figure out what I'm passionate about, go for it, and not let anything get in my way. I just wish they could step out of their situation so they could see not to take what they're doing for granted.
I'm not completely sure what the hell I'm doing in life. I'm young and feel refreshingly optimistic about what my time living has in store for me. I have experienced and accomplished so much in my 18 years already - meeting so many wonderful people, living in Australia, being blessed with musical talent and doing my best to share it, love, loss, creativity, laughs. I just feel like it's already been an incredible journey. I feel like I'm in a very pivotal but good place in my life right now. Not do or die, but live well or live better. For the past while, a cloud of self-doubt has hung over me, but not anymore. I've been so happy lately and I've been able to look at everything I've gone through, great and completely horrible, as experiences that I have learned from and that have made me who I am now. I have a great sense of clarity and confidence now and it feels damn good. There is nothing stopping me. I'm on way to something great, I know it, and even if I fall along the way, I know I will have great people all around to catch me.
I miss my wonderful guy so much. When you live in the same dorm as your boyfriend and get to see him everyday, 2 weeks apart is HARD. I would say we're doing just fine with it though. He makes me SO happy. Only a few more days til I can be in his arms again!
