These times are a changin'.
Hey LJ.
Things are okay on my side of the screen for the most part. I did something to screw up my back. It hurts like hell, but I am sure it is just a pulled muscle or something. I am more than likely going to the doctor today or tomorrow to have it looked at just in case it is something serious but I doubt it is anything major. =D
I am on my lunch break at school and I decided to read through some of my old LJ blogs. Man, it seems like only a year ago I was a different person all together. In only a year I have grown up so much. As I was reading through my old entrys I was almost ashamed of how I felt at the time. My Father's teaching of "a man should always be strong" didn't seem to apply at that point in my life. At that point I was looking to the future but at the same time, I was still very much hung up on the past. Although the past is still hard to let go of at times, it is still the past. I have lived and learned from it, and I think that has made me a stronger person. I have learned that in life you can't always change something, or someone, the way you want to no matter how much you want it/them to change. That thing or person may always be the same, about the only thing that you can do is better yourself and move on with your life.
I feel that I have bettered myself though. I have done some amazing things in only a year's time! =D Granted I have lost yet more friends along the way, mostly over the same bull shit, but I think I am a stronger person overall. I think I am finally starting to grasp what my Father was saying all these years about "being strong". I have an awesome band. My bass player is my little brother and one of the best friends any person could ask for. And my drummer has been my best friend since Junior High School, and is basically my brother. I now have a girlfriend that is totaly supportive of my music. She loves me uncoditionally and she makes me a better person all together.
Although I have grown stronger, it seems like some of my friends have grown weaker. It's not a knock to any one person, so if anyone takes it that way I am truly sorry. But it seems like all the people that said they wouldn't change did, and not for the better. It's the people that I realy admired for their strength at a time when it seemed like I didn't have tha tmuch strength at all. I wish I could do something for them or say something to them to make them be their old strong self again. But like I said ealier, you can't always do that.
I think that for the most part people only make changes that are easy for them. Changes that make their life easier in the short run, but they are too lazy or too weak to change back to their old strong self. And in the mean time their quality of life, is just dropping, dropping, dropping. And by the time that they realize where they are, it's too late. The life that they once knew has passed them by along with everything in it. Oh well, I think that I am done rambling. Laters for now Lj.
