This year.

This year has been insane. I’ve lost some friends, but I’ve gained even more. I’ve become a stronger person in general, and become much bolder. I’ve learned the right times to keep my head down or speak up. This year has taught me that it is important to have my opinion heard, and to stand by it no matter what people think I’ve learned that your real friends are the ones who stay home from a school dance with you because you don’t have a date, but end up dragging you there anyways. I’ve learned that love comes and goes, it hurts sometimes but that will make it so much better when you find the true thing. I’ve learned to be nice to my enemies, it catches them off guard. I’ve learned that giving random people hugs is a good way to make friends. I’ve learned to talk to the quiet kid in the back of the room, because they’re the ones that will never try to hurt you, they’re the ones who will be there for you. I’ve learned that it’s ok to cry. I learned that forgiveness is important. I’ve learned not to judge how good life is by now many people I know, but by now the people I know make me feel. It doesn’t matter if you have 100 friends that barely know you, what does matter is the 2 that you can trust with anything.
