I look back at this account and am reminded of how I once was. I have changed? Or maybe grown up. It seems that everyone I thought I knew, has changed. Some in small ways and others in big ways.

I have learned/experienced so much in this year after high school. I have changed so much for the better, being outside of the prison I called hell. I feel free now.

I see so much more of what the world really is now. It isn't all horrible and mean. Maryland has tainted my view on people. Maybe one day I will leave this area and find peace and tranquility in somewhere better. That is a dream right now but someday it will come true.

I have been exposed to so many people this past year since I have been more of a mall-goer. A lot of things about people these days make me sad. I wonder, why is everyone like this? Don't they know that there is another way...that it is ok to be good? It is ok to want to do things right. It is ok to strive to be the best person one can be. I wish more people would feel this way or at least aknowledge it.

Well, no matter what... I will keep on doing what I do best, being me. People my laugh and call me hypocritical but I do not mind. I am constantly learning and applying each day. Learning knowledge leads to change. But is this kind of change truly a bad thing as you may seem to think? No. It is not.
