I guess I shouldn't write this, but maybe it'll help someone else

I can't stop thinking. I spent pretty much all day questioning everything I've become lately. You know? Like why I feel or act the way I do. Well, anyways, I've come to a few conclusions.

1. First of all, you shouldn't want to change other people or criticize them until you change yourself. Maybe I should re-read my whole self-centered paper. It's so easy to get caught up in your own pity party. If I could go back I would've done things differently, but you can't change the past. I can forget about it though and start living differently. I'm really sorry to everyone out there I've hurt, or burdened with each and every small problem that comes my way. I just think it really is hard to see past your own setbacks and realize that you're pulling down the people that matter most to you. I really do love you.
2. Secondly, good friends are truly hard to come by, and their advice, even when it hurts, should be taken. A lot of times they're going through the same things you are. Maybe you should be more compassionate or understanding. I can only hope to help people the same way you've all helped me this week.
3. Some people never change, so you should do everything in your power to stop from becoming like them.
4. Graduation will be exciting, despite the abc order thing. You shouldn't dwell on the whole leaving thing. It really doesn't go over well.

Ok, so in conclusion, putting yourself in someone else's shoes and seeing yourself for a second can really hurt. Sometimes though, it's the only way to grow and change...or to save someone you really care about.

Sincerely, angela
