Long time no see Livejournal.
All I have to say is that I'm a different person from these previous posts. It's weird always looking back at old entries I've written, whether on here or in my personal journals, and seeing how much I've changed.
It makes me reflect and really appreciate what I have: my parents, my friends, my cousin, my health, etc. I don't think I could ever take it for granted. I couldn't be where I am today without their support and understanding, especially my parents. I don't think I could thank them enough.
And to my friends who stuck with me through the hardest times and showed me that no matter what they'll always be there for me.
Granted, I have lost friends along the way. People who saw what I was going through and didn't know how to handle it I guess, or it bothered them to the point that they couldn't be around anymore. But maybe those aren't true friends anyways, though it hurts either way.
But those who have stuck around, and those who I've met these past few years have been those I hope to have for the rest of my life because they mean the world to me. I'm so grateful for them.
I think sometimes you have to go through hell in order to realize what's really important in life. Though I feel like my problems are silly when compared to those who have a more devastating story or problems.
I'm just really thankful I guess is all I want to put here right now.
The other day, in my alcohol influenced state, I posted this "Life is what you make of it not what you wait for it to be." which is what I try to live every day by. You can't sit around waiting for something to happen in your life, you have to be the one to create it. A few friends and I always say that life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% is how you react to it.
Anyways, enough of this rant. Maybe I'll post more deep thoughts in the weeks, months, and years to come. Stay tuned.
