i read something today, it was a girl going on and on about how she wont change for anyone, and no one can make her change, something like that. well im here to say, bullshit.
everyone knows that june 14th 2007 is my own personal d-day. im scared to death. msotly because, high school was the best thing that ever happened to me. the four years ive spent at overbrook have been amazing. why do i dread graduation? simply because im scared to death of change. im scared of it, i dont ignore it.
change is wonderful. ive experienced love, heartbreak, intelligence, stupidity, stress, boredom, fun, and sad times too. they've all contributed to the wonderful person who stands before you. we're all growing up, changing, learning. if we didnt change for other people, we wouldnt change at all.
sure i change for other people-by choice. its the wonderful people who've entered my life that have changed me. thats the amazing thing about people! they have that ability! its wonderful!
so i tell you, dont have that attitude. dont shut people out because theyre different, or simply because they challenge who you think youve defined yourself as at 15, 16, or 17. change! its the best gift you can give yourself.
anyway, tomorrow is auditions for the fall play. im a little nervous. so i decided to type my feelings away in a journal entry. this thing is such amazing therapy.
oh and p.s.
HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY TO ME
cam i handle the seasons of my life
oh oh i dont know cause
ive been afraid of changing
cause ive built my life around you
but time makes you bolder
children get old
im getting older too
