It looks like Chocolate...

Even though things in my life are pretty rough at the moment, today when I was driving a work I realized just how cool it is to be a teenager. I took my dad's car and got gas, with his money of course and then I went to Starbucks, one of many that I could have gone to. So I was driving down Old Hickory and I started thinking how cool it is that I can drive, have a latte in my hand, U2 is blaring and I'm on the way to meet a bunch of friends. It was the weirdest thing. I'm not going to lie and say my life is perfect because it's not. Right now is probably the hardest time of my entire life but I don't want to spend all my time being upset. I'm so happy with who I am becoming and what the next few years will bring. Driving there, by myself, it was such a feeling of freedom, happiness and hope. It's so strange. Things are going to work out, whatever happens with all the problems I have right now, things are going to work out. If for no other reason than I refuse to have a bad attitude about all of this because I want to look back 25 years from now and tell my kids that I really did enjoy my teenage years. Things are going to be alright.

After I went to the pointless 25 minutes "MANDATORY MEETING" at work a bunch of us just hung out for a while and then headed over to TGI Friday's at 10:30. It wasn't opened yet so everyone just went and sat in their cars. Chris came with me and we drove around for a while, he showed me all the back roads, very important information. Then we had lunch and a bunch of people went to some craft store but I didn't feeling like driving their so Chris and I went to the mall and I bought a pair of CONVERSES!! I'm so excited about that!!! Matt, Andrea and Ashley joined us after the craft store and we just hung out in the mall for a while. I needed today so much. I needed time with people my own age. I"m making friends and things are going to work out. I'm making the best of this becuase I refuse to be miserable. I'm going to have a really great next two years.
