As we grow up, we make stupid decisions that impact the way that people view us for the rest of our lives. I believe that this is because it is easier for people to judge us before truly getting to know us and it’s hard for people to give others a chance.
Throughout high school, everyone changes dramatically. You start out in grade nine expecting your life to turn out a certain way, and you always expect to have the friends you went to public school be your “best friends forever”. But forever is not a constant, it is always changing, and so are you and the people around you. You can’t expect to stay the same, and you can’t expect your friends to either. It is incredible when you find someone that grows with you, instead of apart from you, and sometimes friendships do last forever.
But the way you look at life, the way that you act, and the decisions you make change through the years. You grow, and at least for me, I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’m not the same person I was a year ago, and I’m slowly beginning to find out who I am and who I want to be.
If you think you know me, don’t. You don’t know who I am, or what I am capable of. I’ve been hurt and I’ve hurt others, and the past four years of my life were some of the most challenging of my life, I hope. I’ve learned so much about life and love, and I’ve made countless mistakes that have hurt me and the people that I care about most.
But I’m thankful for my mistakes, because they make me who I am. The mistakes I have made brought me to where I am now. They say “things go wrong so you appreciate them when they’re right” , and I’m so thankful for my friends that have stood by me through my ups and downs, and I wouldn’t change anything about what I have now.
