Show me a man who says he has lived with no regrets and I'll show you one who hasn't lived,
So... I just spent about two to three hours reading all my old entries on here. As I read, I occasionally posted new comments on old entries for anyone that goes back to read them. I also intend to write a long overdue apology to an old friend. I know its far too late to expect forgiveness, but they should at least know I'm sorry.
Anywho, while reading I've made several decisions.
Firstly, I'm going to try to start updating this more often again like when I first started using livejournal. If not for other people then for myself. It was actually the second time within a month I've gone through and read everything I wrote. Its kinda weird for me actually because for one, I didn't remember a good portion of it, and for two, it was like I was reading someone else's journal. Which brings me to my second decision.
I'm locking all my old entries to friends only. I'm simply not the same person I was 3 years ago. Which I'm honestly very happy for. For almost 2 years after high school my life was hell. People who met me a year ago wouldn't even recognize the person that wrote those entries. The stresses in my life haven't improved at all, and in some ways they're worse, but I'm much better with dealing now, and this time I refuse to push the friends I care about away.
So who gets to see the old entries? Pretty much just people who have known me since high school and have had to suffer through the different stages of Mike. If you're currently my friend then don't worry, that will never change. Once a friend, always a friend. If you think you knew the old me well enough feel free to add me as a friend and I'll open them up to you. But just a warning, old me was a very angry and bitter person. (New me is too, but not as much :-p)
Lastly, the decision, which probably effects most of the people reading this, is that I'm sharing this journal with the friends I've made since moving to Wichita. Unfortunately the main reasoning behind this is because I simply don't have the time to call/email everyone anymore. So at least this way, if you guys want, you can still check up on me.
Well thats all for now. I know its not a real update. I intend to write that tomorrow since I'll be spending a good portion of the day traveling and won't have internet. Until then, Adios.
