I've definitely changed a lot in the past year, hopefully for the better. At least I think it was for the better in general. Of course I still have my challenges and bad days, but overall life is really good.
I was being melodramatic about some stuff (not grades.. I was ready for them) yesterday and once I got my perspective back I realized a few things.
First: I am absolutely positive, certain without a doubt that Heavenly Father puts people into our lives for reasons. Friends and family are invaluable to our success as individuals throughout our lives. I can learn something from everyone I know. We're all in this together, and we need each other to encourage, validate, and strengthen us. So thank you. You guys should know who you are, no names necessary.
Second: There are so many things we have to be grateful for. Good friends are way up there on my list.
Third: I have been thinking about past friends. Even if people treat you like crap you can learn something from them. I am learning to not care what people think about me (in the process) as long as I am doing what I know is right. I am learning to trust people. I am learning to treat other people better. I think I'm getting to the point where I can see the value in everyone. I wish I could go back and apologize to a few people from my past. I wish I could change some stuff I did. I wish I could be a better person. But the only thing that matters about these situations/friendships is that I am not going to repeat them or let them overshadow the present or the future.
I also added a few hours to my work schedule for the summer-- so I'll be working 30 hours per week. I am going to California in a week (party + beach!!). I am getting sick, so hopefully by then I'll be better: lots of sleep and healthy food should do the trick. Trying to keep a positive attitude even though I feel nasty. :/
so... piece of advice: Keep smiling. and keep brushing your teeth. :)
