What's Finished Was Finished
Today I decided that it is time for me to retire my LiveJournal. I have another blog that I will give you the link to should you ask me specifically. To me, this LiveJournal represents a chapter in my life that I can close, and so I am closing it. I will still probably read my friends page and comment, etc., but I doubt very much that I will be ( Read more... ) -
But I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I find that I'm kind of dissatisfied with my life. I feel like I'm always searching for greatness beyond my present situation, which I guess is a good thing. One of my major fears is stagnation.

Now I Get It
My middle school and high school years were very difficult for me socially. Sometimes, my group of friends would just decide that I wasn't cool enough to hang out with anymore.

Maybe now would be a good time to discuss my feelings about this happening. Up until this point, I could really ignore the fact that I would be going to Germany in May, just over six months away. I ( Read more... ) -
Breaking the habit
So I haven't bitten my nails in about a week, I think... maybe two. I'm not quite sure. It's been kind of difficult, especially since my nails are getting long now, and they're kind of annoying me. I up until the last two weeks, I had bitten my nails for as long as I could remember. I don't even know why I started, but I guess I just got in the ( Read more... ) -
In Ten Years
I was thinking about how I am not friends with people anymore simply because space and time have come between us, but there are friendships that I have right now that I want to last forever ( Read more... ) -
Home
My mom came to pick me up from school around 1:30 today. We drove out to Uncle John's Cider Mill in St. Johns. We did wine tasting and ate yummy cider and donuts. My mom also bought a pie - a raspberry pie. It was a glorious afternoon ( Read more... )
