Lauren's comment got me thinking about this...
I haven’t realized until now, how eventful these last few months have been. I’ve learned so much about myself, and whether people know it or not, I’ve changed in so many ways.
Finally I stopped caring about the shit that doesn’t matter. Don’t let stupid trivial matters get to you, because it’s usually never worth it. There is no point in getting upset when everything always gets better. I must admit, not having drama all the time is pretty nice.
I have adopted such an optimistic attitude about life in general. It’s wonderful to smile, and laugh, and just be happy. Throughout my life I’m going to be presented with difficult situations, but I just have to remain positive. Keep your head high and look forward, no one gets anywhere staring down at the ground or looking back.
Even though they scare the hell out of me, I like relationships. I’d like to be in a relationship; preferably one that is mutual and we feel the same way. I won’t hold myself back anymore; if I fall then I fall. Whether it’s attraction, infatuation, lust, or love I’m going to feel what I feel and just go with the flow. See what happens, if it works out GREAT, if not OH WELL.
I am more willing to listen to people’s opinions, views, and thoughts. Not everyone thinks the way I do. You’ve got to listen to people even if it’s not what you want to hear. Respect them and their opinions even if you don’t agree. No one is the same; our opinions are what help make us so different from one another.
If you don’t like me, oh well. You’re not going to like everyone, I can accept that. Hey I know I can be a pretty cool person so it’s your loss in the end.
People can say what they want about me, I have heard almost everything. It’s pretty sad when people bring up things from almost a year to two years ago, wow nothing interesting must happen in your life if you’re still talking about that.
You don’t really know me so I don’t know why you’re talking like you do.
Rumors, haha gotta love um.
Everyone deserves a chance...I am more than willing to give everyone a chance and even a second chance. I can only hope people do the same for me.
I learned how amazingly wonderful my mom is. She is the absolute best there is and I honestly don’t know what I do without her. Be jealous, you wish you had my mom.
I realized I don’t need to go out and “party hard” to have fun. Don’t get me wrong, drinking can be fun but I don’t NEED alcohol or anything illegal to have good time. Sure alcohol can spice things up a bit, but it also fuck things up. A majority of my regrets are from times when I was drinking. I act and do stupid things that usually always come back to bite me in the ass. People also tend to exaggerate things… Over the last month I haven’t drank at all, whenever I share that people seemed surprise to hear it.
“Oh I thought you drink all the time.”
Don’t know who you heard that from but they should get their facts straight.
I am and have been out of my “wild” stage for a while now. People don’t seem to realize I have calmed down and that probably won’t change.
The whole not drinking, or smoking, or anything for the last month has been great. I’ve had a lot of fun and actually feel pretty good. Not being hung over at work is wonderful. If you had to work 6:30am to 5pm then again from 6pm to 1am…you won’t want to drink either. Sorry but I work all weekend long and I’d rather not be hung over while doing so.
Also, I have really discovered who matters to me, and what true friends are. I use to consider a lot of people really good friends, but honestly they’re not. People that truly matter are the ones I can call at 3am, no matter what the reason is. They accept my flaws and love me for who I am. They can forgive easily when I make mistakes (a lot of people can’t do this). They are willing to lend an ear or a shoulder even without saying it.
“A friendship is only as strong as the effort you put into it.”
There are people who matter to me even though we’re not that close anymore. There are people I could never stop caring about even if I tried.
Eh don’t know what else but yeah.
You know whats sad? My mom and me text at school since we rarely see each other. See her about once during the weekend (i leave for work b4 shes awake and get home after she's asleep) and usually around 10 at night during the week when I get home from work.
I miss her and our shopping and starbuck outings :(
My name got drew for powderpuff. Hell yeah.
Excited about forest park tomorrow, brand new course! It should be good; hopefully all our girls will run strong. Maybe I can actually break my freakin PR.
Running…I love it.
