i just want one person to come into my life and be completely open and honest with me… is that too much to ask for sometimes???

At first you think they’re joking

Then you realize they’re not…

Then you’re just shocked from disbelief…

And you can’t hold that shock in.

blogging, venting- i'm pretty sure they mean the same thing

Tonight my dear friend and I made silly lists. I won’t describe the exact details of these lists, but by the end of this blog you will most likely be able to tell. If not, you’re just dumb. The process of making the lists was fun. Being able to go back to the memories of high school and reminisce about past parties and adventures we had. Our original plan was to keep the list, and blah blah blah….but when I was gathering my stuff and getting ready to leave, I picked up my list and took a second to look at it and contemplate. Why did I really make this list, just because some magazine article said it was one thing you should have never stopped doing doesn’t mean you should start. I decided to dispose of it. It really was a silly idea. I’ve always had a “live for the present” type of philosophy on life when it comes to this type of list, and for on moment in the present I had forgotten that philosophy.

Lately, I’ve had time to think about me, my life, where it’s been, and where it’s heading. I’ve thought about things like: old classes, old friends, best friends, old relationships, past jobs, past adventures, past achievements, past failures, and so on… and after all this thinking I’ve decided I’m done with my past. I had a great time with the past. So far I’ve had the average teenage life and it was a blast, but it’s truly time to move on. I’ve lost touch with a lot of people that I knew as best friends, and even though I have lost touch with them I will still consider them my best friends. As long as we have twitter, I feel I still have that connection with them. But I will try my best to keep in touch and/or do a better job at keeping in touch with my friends. They are what got me through some of the most difficult times I’ve had in my life so far and I owe them that much if not more.

But now that I have looked at things I’m moving on, going back to my “live for the moment” philosophy and I’ll just keep on trucking through life. I really can’t recall a time in my life that I have been as happy and at peace with everything as I am now. Of course I have the moments of hardships, but that’s just life. It happens to us all…but without those bumps in the road, I can honestly say I would not be as happy as I am. I have a good job, a great boyfriend, doing mediocre at best in school, and I’m alive…which considering the past that I had, I’m pretty lucky to have that.

So here’s to the future. You have a lot in store for me and you are always on my mind, but for now until it’s time to deal with such matters, I’m just going to hang out with my good ol’ friend present.

new series: “Light”. so much of what i have been feeling lately with my personal life went into this series. inspiration: “Light” from the musical Next To Normal. This is one song that has really gotten me through a lot in the past month. Just remember, no matter how bad things can get, eventually things work themselves out and you will see that these things happened for a reason.

all i wanna do for the rest of my life is take pictures. that’s it. :)

the end of one journey, the beginning of a new.

well today is my last day here at good ol’ viterbo and i’m am ecstatic! i don’t think people realized how unhappy i have been here. i’ve never felt more lost as a person in one place in my life, and now that i am finally leaving i am starting to feel happy with myself again. i came to viterbo expecting so much more from this place, and when it didn’t meet my expectations, everything i was doing felt wrong. although, i was introduced to some pretty amazing people and i love them, and will always carry them in my heart. i will miss them dearly in the years to come. but now that the day has finally come, i have never been more excited to end one journey. living at home is going to be weird and hard to adjust to again, but i know it is a good decision in the long run. when thinking about it before, i thought i was taking a step backwards. i know that if i want to get to where i want to be i need to leave the bad behind, and keep moving forward. so today i am taking a step forward. and i can’t wait to begin my new journey in chicago next fall! farewell Viterbo, it’s been real, it’s been fun, but it just hasn’t been really all that fun. here’s to a new beginning.
