Words Of Wisdom-ish

Some thoughts I had recently.

1. I don't think there's anything harder in the world than admitting to yourself that you've lost a friend.

2. I find it funny how excited people are to reinvent themselves when they move to a new place. I find it sad they can't see that they're just fine the way they are.

3. As a kid I always dreamed of being a star athlete. I know now that I'd much rather play pick-up soccer with friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon than play in a Super Bowl.

4. I'm almost 19 now. Adults ask me all the time, "What do you want to major in?" or "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I used to tell them I wanted to be a writer, or a lawyer like my Dad, because it sounded better than saying, "I don't know." But I don't think you can know what you want to be at this age, really. You haven't experienced enough.

5. I think people gossip because they don't think they can be good unless someone is worse.

6. In my experience, the people that give the best hugs are the people that only give them when they know you need one.

7. Try to be the best person you can be every day. Don't use your energy to convince people that you're a good person. People will think what they will. You got to live your life so that you're proud of yourself.
