reflections and life lessons
wow...it's been forever since I've posted in here
mostly because I was afraid of what I'd write, or afraid that what I wanted to write would come out wrong and be taken the wrong way. But if there's one thing I've learned above anything this past semester, it's to take the opinions of other people with a grain of salt. People change, not excluding myself, and you drift apart. Sometimes it's not so much a "drifting" as it is an abrupt slashing out of someone's life, but c'est la vie I guess. Some people aren't meant to get along. There's no way to change it, just gotta be the bigger person about it, no matter what the other one does. [disclaimer: this is not airing dirty laundry, it's simply a means to ponder the workings of relationships strong or sour] Not all change is bad. In fact, most isn't. Most change is good. All change allows you to see someone for who they really are, or who they really will be. The past few months have been chock full of life lessons. I'm learning to see people for who they really are through how they treat other people, and I'm learning to trust people more than I ever could before. At the beginning of all the turmoil I was actually feeling the opposite--like I couldn't trust anyone at all. Soooo not the case. One good thing about the lows of life is that they teach you who you can really count on, and how to tell who is genuine and who is not. I can't thank you guys enough for sticking by my side, listening when I needed you to, and not asking questions (you all know who you are). I have somehow surrounded myself with some of the greatest people to ever inhabit this planet, and I know that who I am and who I will be is because of you all. I can't help but want to be a better person when in the company of such great people. I'm, surprisingly, learning to let go and let people see more of me. I've always built such big walls that very few people ever had the ability to break through, but I'm proud to say that I'm allowing more people to do so, including myself. I know that may sound strange, and idk about you, but I've always felt like somewhat of a stranger to myself. Sure, I know "myself" better than anyone else because I'm almost always in my own head (keyword: almost), but I'm slowly realizing that "there really is more to me than just me" (to quote The Producers...haha I'm a nerd). Thanks for showing me that...
That's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know
You're not alone
There's more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies she's been fed
Shes searching for no one (but herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy that she is her
And this time I think you'll know
You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
