I'm content with my life. I'm happy. This has never honestly happened to me before- I've never felt so at peace with simply 'exisiting'. I'm not doing anything new, I'm just working and going to school as always. The thing is, I changed my mind-set. I honestly believe all you have to do to be happy is want to be happy- it's all about desire. I wasted 2006, I spent the entire year in a rut. I'm not wasting 2007 on anyone or anything again, no one is going to bring me down.
This morning after my Government Exam me and a buddy went to Burger King. We sat there eating in the car and talked about life pretty much. That's when it hit me, I'm in college, these are the best years of my life. I just want to remember all of this. I want to remember every night I sat on Marc's couch doing nothing. I want to remember driving down 408 screaming 'Riding Dirty' at the top of my lungs with my sister. I want to remember sitting in the car just talking. I want to remember sitting and looking at the stars not saying a word. All these simple things, it's beautiful.
I feel like a completely different person that I was a month ago. I feel back to normal- something I haven't felt in a year. Looking back to the way I was acting and the way I treated myself. I can't believe that was me. Moving up here opened Pandora's box. I lost my best-friend, I lost my family, and I lost the place that meant the world to me. In return, I became myself and got a whole new view on life. I think it's a fair trade. Sometimes, as much as you don't want to, you have to let people go to become who you are, just got to take care of yourself sometimes.
