2K7 sucked- enough to not even be documented, at all. 2K8 is going quite nicely.
Reading back on old journals and such, I've realized how important it is to document your own life- as to never forget the important (or not so important) things. But most people don't document as I do, and I am cursed with an already incredible memory. Do others really lose touch of things and forget forever? That seems quite depressing to me. To just forget how incredible things or people used to make you feel (if they currently cease to do so).
As the past 5 years have progressed, very many things have occured in my life. Those have all shaped me into the person I am today. I feel old, I feel solid, I feel simple. As I once was so creative, so expressive, so insightful. I suppose I am still all of those things, just in a completely different sense. I know more now, as I probably only used to think I knew. It tickles me to read about how I used to be so caught up in knowledge and insight, and in retrospect, I was like everyone else. No, that's not true. I've never been like everyone else. But I was still young, and caught up in whatnots.
I still have my silly theories. Now they are more refined and logical. Perhaps I just developed them to be what an average person could understand. and I don't flaunt them, necessarily. I have my views and ideas. And I love to talk with people and share ideas. I think that's very important: sharing ideas, art, love. The world is one huge community. We can't all be completely selfish. Although now I know, ego is an important aspect of the world.
I am going to college in the fall. Reading back on my young words, I realized how difficult I made school for myself. All I ever really had to do was initially put in a little effort- and when I didn't do that, everything built up. I cheated and such. It got pretty bad, but I definitly learned from each year in high school.
Certain people have come in and out of my life over the past many years. And certain people have definitly left incredible impacts on my life. I am my own person now, especially thanks to them. One thing always leads to another, until you reach your destination: your destiny. It really is incredible to read about the ways we used to think, and to see where everyone has turned out. And i wonder, do others remember as clearly as I do?
I still dream incredibly vividly. My dreams still come true. My dreams still rule a good portion of my life. I continue meeting new people as often as I can. I've realized people must move on from others. There's definitly no use dwelling in the past, although it's extremely important to remember where you came from. I've also come to the conclusion that living in the moment is okay, but it's best done with regard for the future.
So, I suppose this is where I am now. mid08. the beginning of the rest of my life. Every decision I make now will effect everything in the future. Although there's that pressue, I'm quite chill. I have this peace I carry with me. I know things will turn out alright. I have God, and he is all that I need. He provides the rest. |
