It's no secret that this past year has not quite been what i envisioned it to be and sometimes lonely nights get the best of me. but it seems to be the trend lately to dwell on the past. "this time last year..." or "look how far we've gone..." has been the topic of conversation with many friends. and I spend most of my time trying to forget the things i miss. but this shouldnt be the way i live. something to work on this next week.
School is becoming the normal now which is a nice change from the summer months of seemingly endless amounts of nothing. (dont get me wrong, i love doing nothing), but i enjoy being busy and keeping my mind off the things i cannot handle on my own.The days have there ups and downs of course. and in all of this "normal" i really try to find a way to make every day special. whatever that may be.

In the coming weeks:

leaves will turn

football games will be played

homework will be done

friends will be coming home

and school will take its rightful place in our routines

My goal: make every day worth living. and for goodness sake i will try to find the good in all things.
