Just thinking

"We hurt the ones we love the most"

And it's true.

But I've been thinking, and I think we hurt those we love the most because we know how to hurt them. We know them so intimately; their insecurities and their weaknesses.

I'm still not sure why we think it's a good idea, or that it will somehow make the hurt we're feeling less painful.

Mommy Wow, I'm a Big Girl Now

I went on an interview today and landed the student teaching position I've been hoping for since my Freshmen year.

 

I'm applying for graduation.

 

I'm going to be living in a duplex.

 

I'm pretty grown up.

Once Upon a Time

It's funny how I sometimes feel my future is limitless and exciting, yet I fear that I know exactly how it's going to unfold.

And it's not that it's a bad thing, or that I don't want to go in that direction, but....Is this what it's like to be an adult? To realize that you have chosen your path and there is no longer any mystery or unexpected/unexplored possibility left in your "When I Grow Up" fairytale?

Would my childhood self be disappointed?

Here's to the future

I finally let go of the past and am on my way to moving forward.

 

I sacked up most of my high school memories (excluding the important stuff like my diploma), took them to the curb, and watched as the garbage truck took them away. I don't know why I held on to that stuff for so long. I finally realized that was a different time, with different people; those relationships and times can never be relived, and holding on to them doesn't change that.

It's sad to finally face that, but at the same time, it's so refreshing and cleansing. But, I'm looking forward to the future, to strengthening the friendships I have now and making new ones. So, here's to 2008.

I'd give anything to fast forward through the next 2 weeks.

 

I'm tired of feeling this overwhelmed and stressed and worn down all of the time.
