Change
i don't like 97 degrees weather. i can't wait for my pool to be open.
i've been thinking a lot about change lately, like how i've changed and how the people around me have changed, and how i predict some people will change. i've come to the conclusion that it's the environment that changes people the most because more then a handful of people i know have gone to college and become different people.
i started thinking about it when my little brother brought up to me his graduation from middle school.
my brother goes into highschool next year and that kind of worries me. right now hes straight edge. all he cares about is his band, his friends, and his family, and he's a really good kid. but in highschool, he'll be around a lot more bad influences, and i just pray he doesn't get into drugs and drinking and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
he looks up to me, and i'm really hoping that since i don't drink or smoke anymore, that he'll realize he doesn't need to either. when i did do those things, it upset him, so i just hope he remembers that drugs aren't good for him or the people around him. i know he's smart, but i still worry. i don't want him learning the hard way, like i did. hopefully he's stronger then i was to resist temptation, hopefully he knows he has me to turn to for advice and i can steer him in the right direction.
though changes like that worry me, a lot of change that is happening has me really excited!
my older brother's wife had a second baby so that means i have a new nephew! his names anthony gerald.
that's a really good change to have a new family member. me and my brother get along better now too, so i get more of a chance to be apart of both of his kid's lives which i'm really happy about. both of them are absolutly adorable, and i'm looking foward to watching them growing and being there to watch all of their "firsts".
like hearing thomas, their first baby, speak his first words. which was "sponge bob". i love him hahaha.
the way i see change is it's inevitable. you have to take the good with the bad, and just hope if someone changes for the worse, they learn from it and one day change again for the better.
i feel more mature lately. i used to deny change and do everything in my power to stop it from happening, but i now accept and welcome it, both the good and the bad. i am beginning to understand that it's a part of life that doesn't happen to make things harder for me, but that it happens because that's what life is all about, growing and learning. i am learning that sometimes we must go through the bad in order to reach the good, and that since we cannot stop change, we have to enjoy what it brings the best we can.
