Wow, after reading back over my last blogs its crazy to see how much my views have changed in just a couple years. Although I still feel that everyone we meet plays a very important role in our lives, I think of that in a less positive light at this point in time compared to when I wrote my last blog. And I'm tired of that. I want to make an honest pledge to forgive and forget those who have done me wrong and tried to pressure my views in an unrelenting way. I'm over it. And it feels good to let go. I'm am who I am, believe what I believe, and don't need the approval of anyone else. If someone is unaccepting of me for how I see the world than I don't think they are a positive influence in my life. Rather, it's those that disagree or see things in a different light but express those beliefs in a way in which I become interested, intrigued and excited just to expand my horizons, that I think I benefit from the most.
This year has brought many new people into my life for which I am very greatful. Intoxicating people, the kind that just make you feel good to be around them. They are simple and easy but unique and amazing. I may not even know them very well yet, but I have a feeling we will continue to be great friends. They are opening my eyes, inspiring me to be more social, and listen when you talk. I mean really listen. I drive to school an hour and half one way and it feels so good to know that the person you are conversing with in that amount of time really cares what you have to say, and you really care what they have to say.
So bottom line is, I love people. Their spirits, their energy, their ideas, their friendship. It is people that make the world go round.
