Wide open spaces

I think for a lot of us this whole new going to college experience was something unexpected and something you can't prepare for. I figured I'd come here and fit right in with everyone, becuase I love being my crazy self and meeting new people. The opposite actually happened for me. I had a pretty crappy welcome week to start my year off. With my guinea pig dying the day I left, buying the wrong books and walking 35 minutes each way to return them, and all this other shit. I dunno. It's been easy to dwell on that and let it get me down. Even going home for that weekend didn't at al turn out like I planned. That's just it though, I have to stop planning out how I want my life to be, and just live it. I can't rely on people to come around and change my life. I have to do it myself because I'm the only one who will. At the same time, I've realized how pessimistic I've been. So yeah things didn't turn out the way I thought. Instead of making all new friendships, which I have met people-I know I'm sounding antisocial, but rather I think I am strengthening the friendships I already have and didn't put much into. I have been spending a lot of time with people from walled lake, but it's not necessarily as bad as I thought. I dunno. I'm just realizing a lot right now with what I need to do to make myself me again. I think I lost touch with the me I love, and I never should have done that. Growing up means adding to what's already there, not throwing it away, but that's what I was doing. So if I've been weird lately, maybe more distant and less energetic, that's why, and it's all me. I love all you guys tons, and I'll be here for you for anything you ever need.
