Change

In high school people are never what you think. There is so much that goes on behind closed doors and as long as you are looking from the outside in you don't actually know a person. I'm not sure how people viewed me in high school. Maybe the weird nice girl. The quiet one. The girl that spends way too much time with the football team. Who knows? I honestly don't care. I never really cared. What was the point? You have four years of high school and then guess what? You leave. You go on to something better...something that will change you. No longer will you have the label they gave you. You are free to redefine yourself. You'll lose touch with your friends...but once you let go of the people you thought you could trust you'll find out who you're real friends are. There are few people from high school that I still talk to. I was close with several people that I haven't spoken to since graduation. Life changes us all. Sometimes for the good, other times for the bad. We have a choice to make. Will you be one of those that wishes they were back in high school or will you be able to move on and grow up.
I know, I've been out of school for a few years so this blog might just be random. But it makes sense to me. I have realized just who to value in my life. The people I still talk to from high school know a lot about me. But they only know the side of me I choose to show them. There are different sides to everyone. Some people's other sides might suprise you...in a good way. Others might crush your thoughts on them. How can any of us claim to know someone when in all actuality we only know the side they want us to. We have expectationsof people that might come crashing down around us. How will you choose to deal with that? Will they stil be your friend or will you leave them because they didn't meet up to your ideals of them? It's your choice. Be careful what you choose.

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up. - Lucas Scott  (One Tree Hill)
