| So, I'm gonna start off by making a shout out to Doreen because she was kind enough to comment on my site which gave me the urge to start writing again after an entire year??
Hmm, let's take a new approach at Xanga and actually type properly.
So, the year is coming to an end. Honestly, this year has been really intense. Lots of ups and downs. I've experienced a lot of new things, met tons of new people, but most importantly, I've learned a lot more about myself. That's what college is for, right? The most valuable thing I feel I've gained this year are friends who I can trust, a new family, and a home away from home. While I was growing up, at home and in high school, the only people I could really turn to were my sister and, oddly enough, my parents. The "friends" that I thought I had weren't really my friends, seeing as how I don't talk to many of them anymore. I never really grew close to anyone except when I went to military school (no homo). That's when I learned what true friendship was, brotherhood. But now, I find myself in California again; I'm being introduced to new crowds of people, and meeting people I will go even farther for and hopefully they will do the same for me.
And now for some common sense for ya'll (or some would think):
I was talking to a friend recently. And as simple as it sounds (and really corny too), I realize that life, specifically friendships and relationships, are kind of like an investment account. As time progresses, as you continue to grow closer with that other person, as you spend more time with them, it's like depositing more money into that account. Every second, every cup of coffee, and every meal is more money being deposited into that account. As you see your balance grow, you have more and more faith that your investment, or relationship, will be successful. But when something causes it to crash, the more money you have, the harder it hurts. So that brings me to my final point: trust. I've learned that this is an attribute that is hard to come by, but absolutely necessary at the same time. Everyone deserves trust. Without it, we would not exist.
Ok, I'm starting to get to that point where I don't know why I am writing or where I am going with this anymore, so I'm going to try to sum this up. This year's been great, and I really hope it gets even better from here (that's what everyone tells me anyway). Even though a lot of you aren't going to read this, I'm going to finish this off with some shout outs to people that really made this year as good as it turned out (in no particular order): Stacy, Dane, Crystal, Brandee, Sarah, Tau Class, Charles (Papi), Jenny (Mom), Step Team, Matt, Gabby, and John. There are tons more of you who I didn't name, but these are the ones who stuck out and made the biggest impact on my year.
Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it. Until next time, God Bless.
Oh, and one last shout out to Jackie Ching for making me this Xanga about 5 years ago. Thanks Jackie! I'm still using it! (even though yours is probably dead now) =P
