wow
so for the past few hours i have sat here and read my old entries and comments and such. it reminds me of what i have come to realize over the past few years. it wasn't as bad as you thought it was then. there's been a lot of things that have happened since high school, and here i thought i had a boring life. i don't really think however i should've read those entries. something doesn't feel right now. althought it didn't depress me, actually, some of it made me laugh or smile. i guess i just have to remember that you shouldn't be sad that some part of your life is over, you should smile because it happened. no, it's not that easy, but really, it is possible. i mean, yeah, i am still a lil upste about not being able to be close to some people anymore, but reading these entries makes me remember how much fun i had when they were in my life. i'm not saying my life sucks now or anything, actually it kinda just got a lil better in the past few hours. but what i am saying is that i miss things. i miss driving around in my oldsmobile, i miss sylvan beach, i miss rockchester visits, i miss shows, i miss soundgarden, i miss camden, i miss swimming, i miss having a good birthday, i miss movies, i miss songs, i miss people....
no matter how many mistakes i make however, i can't make any of them go away. i may hate myself forever, or someone might hate me forever, but i can't change that. i'm working on letting things go. i have to now. too many other things to do. so why should i let mistakes make me feel like i'm a bad person? even good people make mistakes. if you can't forgive me then i'm sorry. but i will never be the one to not forgive anyone. it's like the whole "golden rule" thing...you know you've made mistakes, do you think that you should pay forever? then why would you hold something against someone else forever? are we not all human? do we not all error? i've been thinking about why it is that no matter how angry i get at some people i always can just back down within minutes or hours of things. i think i figured it out. how can i hold something against someone, when i have done something similar, worse, or wanted to. just because someone's annoying doesn't make it so you have the right to hate them for it. you might be annoying to someone else at some point. do you want them hating you? i guess it's just pointless however, to even say these things. if anyone does read this, they either already know, or won't listen. we let our anger blind us so much sometimes, we lose sight of the things that make us who we are ourselves.
but i guess this is just what i have decided lately. i can either hate myself forever because i made one mistake, or be happy because the consequence is something that i can hold onto for the rest of my life and remember my own life inside of. i don't think mistakes were meant to create hate, disapointment, or hurt. i think they were created to show us that while no one is the same, in ways, we are. i think the sooner we all get over what we can't change, the sooner we move on and accept ourselves through other people's eyes as well as our own. (and yes that is important...only looking at yourself creates a selfish mind) however, i think that if you hold my child against me, then you should think of this. it is not i that you are hurting with your words and anger of my life, it is yourself. you only hurt yourself when you blind your eyes through a closed mind. i don't think of her as a mistake. i think of her as life's way of saying, "this is what you need to do now. take her and make a life for you both. show the world the other side of the picture." you can only better the world through open eyes and open mind. so if you hate me for being who i am, then i can't change that, but if you can accept me for what you see and sometimes what you do not, then i've been here a long time. and no longer am i alone.
