reflections and confessions. . .

sorry if this isn’t BS enough for the dates. deep down it really is.

another year has passed by. i didn’t cry this year and i’m not sure why. i guess i just know that i’ll see everyone again soon. i’m super excited for camp. the only thing that stands in my way is three days of target and the mound of crap (aka my stuff) sitting in the basement that needs to be sorted and repacked. i’m hoping this summer will be amazing.

i watched the graduation dvd tonight and got really nostalgic, then realized that i don’t miss high school. i’m moving forward in this world and hanging on to the past will only hold me back.

this year has been a year of learning. a year of new experiences and maybe even a few regrets, but overall a good learning experience. i guess this is the spot where i can list some “new things” that happened this year. i kind of really like lists.

-i went to a dance club and really enjoyed it. (*too much love at first ave, so not really a dance club dance club)
-i made many new friends, grew close to the “old new” friends, let go of some friends and realized who i should really reconnect with
-i gained some new insight and opinions on issues of politics, society and personal choice
-i went on a mission trip and got to experience God again and rekindle my love for mission work
-i experienced my first friends to graduate. its kind of scary and i wish them all the best of luck
-i will experience my first high school friend to get married in a week

i’m sure there are many more, those just stick out the most in my mind right now. overall, i will BE SATISFIED with how this year turned out, taking both the good and the bad.
