I think it's time...

It's amazing how my writers block doesn't effect my personal writing. Maybe that should be a hint.

There are moments in your life when you have to just sit down and think about what's right for you. You think about everything: family, friends, school, work, money, time, effort... and you come to a conclusion that some people, some THINGS, aren't necessarily right for you. Then you let them go. One by one, you just let them go. You forget about them. You forget about the good times as well as the bad in order to make your life what you know it needs to be.

Relationships are two-way streets. Communication should come from both sides, and both parties should listen. There are two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. Givers talk, takers listen. But what happens when a taker wants to give?
I'm sick of being the taker.

I'm growing up. I'm learning a lot about life. What's best for me might not be what's right for me. And what I want might not be what's right for me.

Journalism, you're confusing the hell out of me.

People, always others.

I've been struggling for a long time to figure out who I am as a person and how people perceive me. I have yet to figure out who I am and what I want, but I know how people see me. I'm a push-over, the motherly addition to the group. I take care of my friends, I put them before me. I realized this about three days after coming back from break, and I've isolated myself since then. (Not like COMPLETELY isolated - I still see my friends, but I go out on my own a lot more now.)

People change.
Shit happens.
It's up to you to live your life the way you want it to be lived.

I came to this school to earn my degree. Making friends is just that little added plus, but it's not a necessity. So, it's time for a change. I'm focusing on me from now on. I'm cutting out the bad, and adding the good.
