Made for the Taking
Seeing everyone post about how this summer has been significant in some way or another is very interesting. I don't post too often in here, or not as often as I would like, because a lot of times I just throw out my thoughts to people in person, or contemplate them myself.
But I would agree that this summer has been pretty crazy, and very different. First off, I wanted to say that as much as people will try and point out that "Things are changing and people are growing apart," that's only really half true. It's natural that as time goes on, the way things are done and how people hang out would change.
Just recently, I've started to hang out with a whole new group of kids that I met through Chris and the band, and it's highly awesome. To be honest, it makes things interesting, that now I can call the kids I knew from HTHS up, get the other kids who also play hockey with us, and these new kids together, and we could all hang out.
Saturday was my birthday party thing, and it was freaking awesome. Except for the whole throwing up at the very tail end of the night. But it was a solid time, and I hope that everyone who came also had a blast. Hahaha... on Sunday we had a mini party with something like 12 people at Liz's house, and we hung out and played some more pong. I got 3 hours of sleep last night as a result. Sweet!
Life feels pretty good, because I think I've started to figure more of it out. Like for one, insecurities are really bullshit. The truth of the matter is that almost everyone has the same insecurities as everyone else. Once you realize that, it's almost like you can grab hold of the situation and make it whatever the hell you want it to be. I think I just realized that this week, and it's a highly enjoyable discovery.
After all, if the world is full of haters and lovers, why not treat everyone as a lover until you know otherwise? If they're a hater, well that's good for them, and life moves on.
There are so many people I find in my mind right now, that I'm glad to have around in my life, but I feel awkward about listing all of them or anything like that. But at the end of the day, all you kids are amazing. There are some of you that I've know for a few months, some of you for a year or 2, and some for years and years now. Either way, I want you all to know I appreciate the fact that you are the way that you are, and hope that the time we have from here on out is just and ridiculous.
What an ADD posting. Sweet.
