Well. Almost an entire year since I've posted something.
College is a busy time--between the very little homework and working I did and the tremendous amount of time I spent being lazy and hanging out with just about anyone I could find with a pulse, there's just not a whole lot of time for blogging.
It was a good year, however. A lot of ups and downs. Okay, a lot more downs than I've had in the span of one year in a long time, to be honest, but I met some awesome people, some people I'll never forget, some people that inspire me, and some people that I know I never want to be like. I lost myself, found myself, lost myself again, reinvented myself and am still searching. I realized what's important to me (friends, family, love, soccer and art); what isn't important to me (just about everything else).
I learned that people change, first impressions are hardly ever right, and that what you love and what's good for you are two completely different things.
The two people that are always going be there for you are Jesus and your mom, and even when your mom isn't there, Jesus is enough.
Facebook is the worst (or best?) procrastination tool, bugs appear out of nowhere and are a pain to get rid of, and people you love won't always love you back.
I learn that when someone says something bad about me I must live so that no one will believe it, doing the right thing will always be rewarded, everyone has something to teach you, and sometimes God takes good things out of your hands so he can put better things in them.
I learned that I want to get as far away as I can from Abilene, TX, but I also never want to leave, the coolest people are the ones that are further out there than the moon and the ones that have something to say, joy is uncircumstantial
But, (I saved the best for last) I learned that love sacrifices without expecting anything in return. Everything else is just imitation. And when you find love like that, cling to it for dear life, because it's going to be the one thing that saves your life.
