Changes

You never know how much your life changes until you actually step back and look at it. I thought I hadn't changed that much at all in the last year, but the truth is, I'm no where near being the same person I was a year ago. I might not look all too different, but maybe you're not looking hard enough.

Everything has an effect on your life. Every hair cut, change in the way you do your makeup, new shirt, new pair of shorts or jeans, even every pair of new shoes. Every person you associate yourself with, everywhere you go with those people, and every friend you have and lose. Every new band you listen to and even every song you love. Every new favorite food, drink, color. It all adds up, and eventually you have no idea who you are anymore.

If I would have told myself a year ago who my best friend would be, what my favorite band would be, and many other things about my life now, I hardly would have believed you. Actually, you couldn't have given me $100 for me to believe you.

Time flies so fast. I really can't believe it. This past year has flown by like no other. Every memory seems so clear. Like it all happened yesterday. If time continues to fly this fast, I'll be graduated in no time. But I don't want it to. I want to live in the moment and get as much out of life as I can in the next few years.

That's why this summer is going to be different. I want to make as many memories and do as much as I can. I want to hang out with my friends as much as I can. I want to go out more. I want summer '09 to be amazing. And it will be because I'm not going to get wrapped up in other people's drama.

It's suuuummmmmmmmmer!

(By the way, that picture of me was taken exactly a year ago today. NOT the best day of my life. Haha)
