37 Weeks Ago....
Wow, 37 weeks sure is a long time since my last post. I guess that posting to Livejournal has become something I don't do as much, despite the amount of things happening to me.
Still, I just wanted to say sorry to those of you that I haven't said anything to for the past...more than 37 weeks. Not to patronize, but I think I got to that point in college where I started to do my own thing, be my own person, have my own friends, but finally be comfortable enough with the people around me to start replacing those from High School. And when I realized this, I thought it necessitated commentary.
I will never forget HRS. I can't. For 4 years I got to know the people around me, to day by day see people's lives pass by that I now miss out on.
But whats important is that everyone else is doing that too. My parents continue to live their lives without me, and when I go home I see how my "home" has changed...but its a strange change, a change in the picture in my mind of what my home was. And I think its the same for people from HRS: its not like I'm purposely ignoring people, but its just that because my life no longer focuses on friends from high school (and their lives don't either) and because of all the people and change going on in college....those people who you knew fade into the background.
I didn't like a lot of who and what I was in high school, and as much as I question my future now, I think that I have a fairly solid basis as to who "I" am and even who "I" want to be.
To all of those that I haven't talked to in far too long, I'm sorry. I hope that everything is going well for all of you, that you're having the best possible time meeting new people, taking new classes, discovering life and living day by day. I hope that you don't forget those people who are truly important to you, that you remember high school fondly like I do, that you remember certain times, situations, events, and friendships and will never forget them.
For all those who I went to HRS with day by day, year by year and who have ultimatley made me who I am today, I want to say thanks. I will never forget those people in my classes, in the plays, in the drama room, at morning meetings, at summers before college and summers after college, to leaving for college and coming home, and for all of the amazing people whom I have fell out of touch with.
To end this, I hope that all of you are having a good time, that college is what you want it to be, that you maybe actually see yourself somewhere in 5 or 10 years and see the person that you want to be. I'm sorry to have lost contact with so many of you, but I hope that I can rekindle the fun and experiences that I had before.
All the best,
-Paul
