I promised not to make this a journal, but I think these thoughts can be relevant to all, so here goes nothing.
Firstly, might I say that those who go through their school careers without bonding with their teachers are missing so much. Three teachers absolutely made my day today. They do their best to help me succeed. They advise me and talk to me as an equal. They recommend books and colleges. One even reads all of the little bulletins I post on MySpace, just to hear what I have to say. How insane/grand is that?
Secondly, I'm realizing how lucky I am. At the beginning of the year, I was so caught up in reaching out to others, finding new people to with which to connect because, somehow, I felt lonely despite the amazing people who surrounded me, who have always surrounded and supported and loved me. I forgot what I had, and I was a fool. The winter break made me realize that, while I am here, I need nothing more than them. Somehow, we found each other early, and that is one of the biggest miracles in my life so far. (I also find it funny how three people in the past week have referred to us as collectively, as a "gang" or "group." I don't even know what we'd classify ourselves as. Perhaps black sheep?)
To be honest, only one person has been letting me down fairly consistently lately. I'm hoping it all plays out well, but if it doesn't, I'll live.
It's the way of things.
Hm, Smoke by Alkaline Trio is a good song.
I haven't paid it much attention before.
It just came on. Mmm.
