(no subject)
I've come to the conclusion that it isn't hard at all to adapt to a new home. it's not hard to fit in, or a drag to find new friends. it's acturally quite interesting. not as scarry as i had thought. although it is impossible to compare to totally different places, there are some similarities, but a whole lot of differences. Jersey has Wawa, cold winters, malls, farms, my relatives, familar places, and friends that i have made over my 15 years of living there. all things i miss dearly. but Florida on the other hand, has alot to offer to. It has stores on every corner, a beach 15 min away, warm winters,nicer people, Publix and Perkins, diet rite!, liscense at 16, and alot of new people to meet. i can't chose which one i like better. up until today, i had felt so homesick that i never thought i'd feel the same again. but one remark changed my entire outlook.
i was sittin in my room, and my sister and neighbor were in there too. my sister had made a remark that i was lazy, and my neighbor (Taylor) defended me saying that i was just having a lazy day. my sister continued to hound me for being lazy, and i finally said " i don't have friends to not be lazy with" my neighbor, who up until now was my sisters friend and Sean's little sister, turned to me and said: "hey, i take offense to that!" i turned and said "no friends except taylor" and she agreed. after that i finally felt like everything would be okay. i have friends...and i am regarded as a friend. i'll always miss new egypt and my old friends, but i'll come to love this place as much as i did new egypt, and i will make new friends. life will go on. so thank you taylor for showing me this. and thank you to everyone back in N.E. thank you for being part of my life, you'll never be replaced, and i will always miss you.
always-
