Summer is coming to an end.

Summer vacation is coming to an end, which means a new schoolyear is about to begin. This is going to be an important year in many aspects, how ever it will also be my last with my classmates(I'm going to be a senior). A lot of us are busy planning "our" futures, wile some of us are looking back at our pasts and remembering the good times, fun times, hard times, and sad times that we shared along the way. Then there are some people who just want to enjoy the present. But this year is the year that will ultimately decide our futures and who we want to be.

No matter what happens this year I know that things will end up how they are soposed to for the best. Things are going to change this year but this year I'm ready for them. We all learn from the things that have happened to us in the past, and we become stronger because of it. But sometimes we just have to live life with no regrets. Someone taught me "if you keep looking at yesterday then your going to miss tomorrow"

Enjoying the Present

Today I had to have a filling done, and I hate Novocain so I always use laughing gas(nitrous oxide). Well I learned today that laughing gas actually slows down time which makes 40 minutes feel like 5 hours, I learned this by listening to my IPod. When I was listening to my music and under laughing gas the music actually slowed down to the point where it would freeze get the next"tune" then freeze again. It was in those moments in witch I found out how much the present actually means to me and what it would be like with out it. Its at those times where we also realize how much people mean to us when time comes to a crawl....More to come tomorrow.

Wanting and Needing

Wanting something is something that everyone has in common, not everyone wants the same thing but wanting is an important thing none the less. Wanting something gives us all something to work for, like a great friend, new bike, or even laptop. But when we want something then we usually set our eyes on only that rather then how lucky we truly are to have the things, people, and places. I could go on to say that is what Thanksgiving is for but I'll save that for another post. When we want something we are pretty willing to do what ever it takes to get what we want. Sometimes though we end up doing things that we later regret doing(pushing away the things we need), just so we can get what we want. Sometimes people will forgive you, other times they wont, but will you be able to forgive yourself? But what we want and what we need are two totally different things.

If you ask somebody to name something that they really need(impossible to live without) chances are that they will either say friends, family, or hope; At least I know that I would. My friends and my family keep me alive, not just when I need them what every single second of every single day. Without them I wouldn't have made it this far. I can live without a lot of people but I can't live without them. My definition of a friend is: someone you can trust,and they trust you as much as you do them, someone that will always be there for you if you ever need them, someone you can talk to about almost anything, and someone you can laugh with about anything.... My definition for family though is confidential.
