yes, i know...it's been a long time since i've posted
i guess that xanga has died for me as for many others. the need to post my joys, my frustrations, my worries and regrets have less meaning when speaking to people that aren't a significant part of my life. i'm sure there are people out there that might have the same problems, the same wishes and aspirations...but it just isn't the same anymore. but i still feel that there is more to be learned from others, so i share with you my thoughts...
as my life progresses, things in my past seem to move farther away from me as i'd hope it would. even the things that were once important to me before are no longer part of who i am anymore. people would warn me that as we get older that we'd lose more and more of what we had...and it's become more and more apparent now that i'll probably lose a lot more that is close to me now...
i don't mean to sound regretful and dismayed, but there will be times that i'd wish that i could go back to the things that made me happy once before. basketball on thursdays are bittersweet because it almost takes me back to when i used to play in middle and high school with all the old friends and memories. but, most of my day is just another progression to get to graduation and to move further into my life.
there are still a few things that i hold dear and hope that will never change. the friendships that i've made through my life, the person that i love more than anything in the world, the family that supports me, and the things that i've learned through the past few years. i've been told that my mindset will be what makes or breaks me...that if i do my best and be happy with that, i will go far...that there is more to life than trying to make things perfect...not to expect too much out of others, etc. etc.
in rememberance, i know that i am lucky. lucky to have a family that loves me and supports me, friends who care and will guide me, one to love and be happy with, a job on campus that is less demanding, and so on. for all that has been lost, i have gained ten-fold. for all that i've wanted, i've recieved more of what i have needed. for all that i've regretted, there is so much more to look forward to...
thank you to all of you
