Season of Change

This summer... wow.
I can't believe this is going to be the last summer I'm going to spend as a high schooler. Maybe it's because of this reason, but I cannot forget all that I've experienced and learned during my break. This year, it only got better and better every day. An action-packed summer... coming home at one or two all the time, lying on my bed thinking about how much fun I had. This summer was full of inspiration and change... I can't say that I'm the same person anymore, despite the fact that I may look and act the same on the outside.

I've realized the importance of building relationships and knowing those that are going to stay with me the rest of my life. I learned to accept myself as I am and be comfortable with it. And from all the years stressing about my future, I finally feel like I know what to do and where I want to be at.

I feel confident and not burdened.

The way I socialize with people has also changed. I have met so many people... from the same county to the other side of the nation.. and have gained perspectives, same and different. I feel like I don't have to work alone anymore. I'm swearing more often... trying not to though. I've decided what to continue and what not to. I've seen so much more than just my home city... outside, the places I've never knew existed yet were only a couple hours away. I've become more open-minded and understanding. I've experienced different forms of love (as corny as it sounds), and I want to share it.

In short, summer this year has turned me into a more mature and open person. I can't say that I've changed for the better, but I'm not despising this change I've experienced. I like this new me, and because of that I'm looking forward for the years to come.

I'm truly going to miss summer.
