In other thoughts...
It's better to live our own lives.
You do your thing--I'll do mine.
Eventually, we'll meet back up again.
Good plan???

I don't know what this whole thing is with people telling you how to live your life...You are 18, and you are suppose to be having fun, and doing whatever you please. If you screw up, you will learn from your own mistakes. You may not make the right decisions, but mistakes are what makes you a better person.
There is a part you talk about "he", and Tim. I don't know these 2 guys, but they sound like extremely negative people. Negative or depressed people normally bring other people down with them. Just by the things you've said, it seems like it may have brought you down a little also. You are who you are. You live your life how you want to live it. It's not how you should live it, it's how you want to live it. You will be happier if you live it the way you want to live it. If other people try to tell you how to live your life, ignore them.
About friends... Friends are friends because you have or had something in common with them at some point in time. People do change. Friends come and go. You can't control your friends, and you can't control who wants to be friends with you.
You ran away from Dryden because people were telling you how to live your life? Why did you run away? Why didn't you just confront them, and tell them to stop? If these people are your friends, you should be able to tell them to stop. Besides, friends are suppose to be there for you, and you are suppose to be there for them. If you can't share something as simple as this with them, are they really friends?

Next, nothing that people say changes the way that I live my life. Mostly, it just makes me rethink how I'm living it. When I'm not at home, I live more for the moment. I'm not sure that I give my life--over all--too much thought. The main issue with being told how to live my life was that it was coming from my best friend---someone who is very much--empirically--a great friend. He has saved my life so many times before that the thought of losing him because of my boyfriend just throws me.
Finally, I left Dryden because my world was so small here. I hated it. I didn't like most of the people--and they didn't like me. I am stubborn and honest and intelligent--all of which are somehow terrible character traits in this town! I said it wrong in saying that I ran away… I wasn't hiding from anything. I just turned my back. I wanted to start over… and I have. I am more myself now than I have ever been before. I am confident and ambitious and excited about my life and my future. Nothing is going to hold me back.
With regards to my 'friends'... I don't have a whole lot of those--and that was always fine with me. I LOVE the friends I have... that was all I ever needed. It turns out the more people that I let into my life, the more I get screwed over. But now, my list is expanding---and it seems that the people I've always relied on are looking at my life differently than I am. Number One… they don't like my boyfriend. But mostly---I've changed a lot and many swear they don't know me anymore. To me, I've just outgrown most of them. I love them… but it's harder to be friends now.
Thanks for seeming interested…
Please tell me who you are.
Please.

You say that nothing that people say changes the way you live your life. Why do you get all upset about it? If it bothers you enough to post it on here, then it must be bothering you.
The thought of losing your best friend because of your boyfriend...Life is hard, and many times one or more of your friends has a better view on your relationship because you may be blinded by 'love'. You may not see everything. I know your best friend doesn't see everything, but when the friends see or hear about the things he has done, they can make a better judgement.
You say starting over. Starting over from whatpart of your life? Starting over with the same best friend that has known you how long? Now you can be yourself, and still have the same best friend that still knows the "old" you? I don't know exactly what you are starting over from, but if you still have the same friends, that really doesn't make you much different. Friends come and go, boyfriends come and go. It's virtually impossible to have true friends for your whole life. If you have outgrown your old friends, maybe it's time to find some new ones. Ofcourse, if you love your friends like you say you do, just tell them your new outlook on your future. Your true friends would understand, and stop bothering you on how to live.
I don't know exactly how you are looking at your life, so I wouldn't know. Life is life, and everyone lives it their own way...the way that seems ideal to them. Their outlook is different than yours, and who really knows the best way to live life? What is the most beneficial way to live? It's the way that would benefit you the most. Others may not think that you would benefit a certain way, but you will find out if it's beneficial for you or not.
Hope all goes well. I'll be back to read.
