Home from the Library...

Oct 17, 2005 01:15

On my 1 AM trip home from the library with my wonderful roommate, Ally, we were talking about what we were doing a year ago, and how much our lives have changed since then...Here is what I came up with:

Stars practice til 6:30, Waking up at 7 AM, Studying for Eco (yeah right! I don't think I really studied for that class), Thinking high school biology was just too much to handle (HA!), Cheering at Football games, Cheering at Volleyball games, Thinking "Highschool Sucks!"...

Well, I got back home and thought I would scroll back through my archives and see what I was thinking a year ago...

One year ago, I thought:
I would be with someone by now who I never really talked to, but felt so much for
I was going to be rooming with Sarah Franco
Ashlee Simpson was the coolest thing since sliced bread
George Bush was going to win the election by a landslide
My house was haunted because of "orbs" in my pictures
The MP3 player in my brand new Equinox was my coolest new toy
If I didn't see Garden State, I was gonna die
I had finally gotten comfortable and settled with my faith and saw what I needed to change in my life...

Reading my old posts, even though EXTREMELY petty, brought me back to a mindset that I had a year ago. It just occurred to me that up until about six months ago, maybe less, I was that self-conscious little girl walking through the hallways at Harlingen South, who wouldn't say hi to you first, just in case you wanted to pretend like you didn't know her. I can't believe that even within the past few months, I have changed SO much! Back then, I was doubting so many friendships that mean so much to me now. A lot, and yes I do mean A LOT, of things have happened within the past six months that have molded me into a different person...I like to think in a good way. So many things that I thought had been missing from my high school experience were all shoved together at the very end of my senior year, because honestly, before then, I think I deliberately pushed them away... Some of you know what I am talking about, and some of you don't, but, really, that doesn't matter. I have overcome so many things within the past six months that have honestly changed me for the better. Subconsciously, I think that I am writing this right now, not for you to read, but for me to read in one year so I can look back and see what I was thinking...You see, there is more to this post than ANY of you know. You don't know all that I have overcome and you don't know all that I have experienced...but the deal is, I know...If you really want to know, you can ask, of course, but first you have to ask yourself, "Do I really want to know?" Okay, now, I want you all to do something for me. Check your archives for one year ago today, and see how much your thoughts and viewpoints have changed...It's a trip, I'll tell ya that much! ;op

Emo...Yes...but none the less, therapeutic as always!
