Highschool is over now & I can't really say 4 sure whether I miss it or not? Back then everything that seemed so intensly serious, now seems so insignificant. All the rumours & bullshit, that w/o a doubt tarnished all of our reputations, are now put 2 rest & known 4 what they always were "complete rubish". Altho unfortunately, there are some exceptions, & ther are those few rumours that have shed the light, & shown the dirty truth 2 all of us: That there are way 2 many ppl in this world that will do anything&everything, in order 2 make themselves look better, (eventho most of the time its not hard to see right thru them, I kno that all of u kno exactly what I mean). But... when we all sit down & think about what Highschool did 4 all of us (the happy times as well as the down right horrible), I'm sure we can all say the same thing: "Those experiences taught me a hell of a lot about who I am, & who my true friends have always been" --& I suppose that if u don't say this when u think back, u probly didn't take from the experience what u should have, & thats a shame.
When I take a minute 2 just sit & think 4 myself what Highschool taught me... I think of this as well: W/o all of the absolute & utterly horrible moments I experienced, I would have never built any true character. I would have never been able 2 see who my true friends were, & I would have never been able 2 become as strong as I am today. Not only that, I wouldn't have had a chance 2 bleed, & grow, & discover that all the bad things normally have a way of adding up & becoming something good in the very end of it all... Eventho this sumtimes takes longer than we all would like it too.
Don't get me wrong tho... God knows I had the time of my life despite all the bad things/experiences highschool brings w/ it. I was able 2 build an understanding of what ppl are like, I was able 2see human nature at it's peak. I was able 2 see the characteristics in other ppl that I either knew I wanted 2 possess myself, or never ever emulate. Not only that... I met the love of my life. =0) ...*mwa
Thruout highschool, I had my innocent heart broken, & then put back 2gether again, perhaps only 2 have it broken once again (this time not so innocent). I also had my character picked 2 peices, dissected & then judged. My reputation was sliced&diced... but made it out whole in the end. As for my heart & soul... both have been tested. And I'm sure that all of u can say the very same.
Ppl say that highschool, is as far from the real world as were ever gona be, I don't think that this is entirely true. In the real world ppl are forced 2 be decent 2 those they hate, hold their toungue & be "professional" or "respectful" despite what they may be thinking on the inside, & they must resemble a responsible adult, eventho they may be the furthest thing from it... In other words, the "real world" seems as fake as fake can be. As 4 highschool, none of these rules apply. U can hate who u wana hate & thers no need to even PRETEND that you don't wish they'd drop dead . U can also say what u wana say, 2 whoever you wana say it 2, forget the consequenses (IF there are any) & of COURSE we all kno that NOBODY has 2 try & act responsible, in fact, it's a very rare & unusual occurance if sumone does. & all these things, are exactly what make Highschool so much freakin' FUN! & a time none of us will ever EVER forget.
Anywayz, as always I've strayed from the point, which is this: I owe everything to those ppl who were always there 4 me, & are still there 4 me today: My friends. The truest of the true. U've made everything I've ever gone thru, the bad & especially the good, worth it. I don't have the words 2 say what u all mean 2 me. I luv u all from head-2-toe. & thru the years I've learned that if their ur true friends, theres no need 2 list every last one of their names. Becuz if their truly ur friend, they kno who they are, & these simple words will tell them all they need to kno: U make my life perfect in Every Way. Thank U SO much. I Luv U. -xox- |
