Explanation

To be perfectly honest, I have neglected updating my blog for the new nine weeks. This is partly due the end of the year drawing near and senioritis. Everything becomes much easier to forget with senioritis. Anyway, I have decided to change blog topics due to the lack of interesting material in my music life. Besides, I have learned many lessons from high school and it would only be appropriate to mention my various thoughts before I say farewell. Recording all these thoughts resembles writing in a diary in my opinion but since most people relate diaries to women, we shall call these posts journal entries.
A lot has been on my mind now that high school has started to come to an end. There has definitely been much reminiscing going on. Four years ago, back when I was a freshman, I remember hearing a senior or some important person give a little introduction welcoming all of the new kids into the school, giving us a look into the high school experience. I really don't remember all that much of the speech except maybe one sentence. "You find out who your friends truly are and what group of people you belong with your senior year." How was I supposed to understand this a freshman? Finding your TRUE friends? Pssh, I was one of the new kids in school. How was I supposed to find true friends when I didn't have any? (Not having friends was just a figure of speech. I had friends. I just didn't know many people back then.) I never fully understood the statement until a few days ago.
I have met many interesting people since I first walked through the doors of DCHS. I have made many friends and have lost a couple as well. It is tough to always be a good friend. Especially when one of your friends doesn't give much in return and starts doing unhealthy and immoral things. People say that everyone who comes into your life is there for a reason. I believe this to be true. We learn things about life and about who we are from everyone. Even when a person was only your life for a brief period of time.
Every once in awhile you will meet a person and think that you will always want them in your life. As time has gone on, it becomes more and more apparent who really cares about you and which friends you want to...need to stay in touch with. Many of my friends have graduated as I have gotten older and only a select few are still in touch with me today. Now as I get ready to graduate, there will be a select few that will make it all the way to the end. I hope to keep as many people in touch as possible but I realize it will be difficult. There are many people that I hope I never lose and there are also many people that I had more time to spend with. Wherever life takes me there will be people coming in and out of my life. I have many friends and I know I will make more. Sometimes I wish I had more time here in Owensboro but at the same time I am ready to start anew. These are just a few of the thoughts I have had recently. It feels kind of good to write them down.
