gone with the old, in with the new

Right now, I could really go for some new changes and I think I will get just that once graduation is over. The past four years really have been meaningful and noteworthy to me. Though there were many ups and downs, high school is what shaped us all to be the people we are today. The way we act, dress, talk, and think now, all come from a lot of our past naive high school experiences and valuable memories with the different places we've gone to, the youthful things we've  done and embraced, and the friendships we've built over time. For me, I just enjoy living in the moment and not regretting things because learning from my mistakes is the most efficient way to get through in life, as well as moving on to new and better things with useful positivity and handy optimism in the real world. Things definitely happen for a reason when certain things don't work out the way we want them to, but better things eventually come around and sit right by the door again-if not today, then tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, then the next day, and so forth. Life is like a hamster that continuously runs on its hamster wheel-it runs and runs nonstop, just like how life continues to happen everyday, and even when the hamster stops, it still lives, just like how life will still go on until the last breath of your life.

This time, knowing that I will actually be packing and leaving somewhere away from home seems very surreal, and I really, really, really look forward to it. Maybe this time, I will find comfort to my new home, find my own belonging with content happiness, and not dwell upon unbearable things that aren't worth the time fixing. These past four years have truly been a whirlwind of chaos, dealing with nonnegotiable people, seeing the other side of the grass, standing up for what's right, coping with difficult decisions, participating in unforgettable events, and becoming my own person with my personal opinions and thoughts. But through it all, I did find some kind of order and peace to it by learning to grow and dodge from all of the thorns of these roses that I experienced in high school. Admittedly, I became a bitter melon at some point in high school, but I learned to overcome that stage when I realized that everyone is naturally good at heart and that everyone deserves a second chance. I know that I am absolutely going to miss the people who have gone through it all and stood by me when I needed them the most because the people who have supported me through the thick and the thin when I was in doubt were the ones who stayed true to who they were then and who they are now- and those kinds of personalities are the ones that deserve the kind of high respect and praise that I admire. Life's not always at its down points because if we really wanted to make something work out, we would find the time to dedicate ourselves to break the barriers in between, and follow our hearts to find the passion of interests we've been looking and working for all along. High school is not over just yet, but it will all be over soon; so live life like there is a tomorrow, because having a hopeful and open minded personality today is what brings happiness, comfort. and content to life tomorrow.

Now, a quote from Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

Sleep tight, Bloggers.
