I once read a quote that goes something like this:
People will always disappoint you.
But after I thought about it, this quote is quite selfish. Which makes me selfish for thinking that it is true. If I am frustrated cause my friends personalities change and they become different people, maybe I am being way too dramatic and should just get over it. And this quote is pretty emo, so I don't want to sound like a cynical girl who only looks down on her friends and others. But I have discovered that yes, people do change. My friends change. And over the years, they have grown into a different person with different qualities and traits, and I have....changed also? I don't know. Have I stayed the same? Or is it other people running along in the race of life, and I am going backwards? Or standing still? Or am I on a whole other road? Maybe I'm not on a road. Maybe I'm floating. Justchilling. Staying in the same spot. Same person.
I changed my mind.
I am a growing, intellectual person. Therefore, I cannot be sitting still, floating in air.
I am flying. Flying somewhere. Probably to the beach. To bathe in sunlight and do yoga by the hammocks in my future front yard. yes, I will do yoga...floating in air.
Yeah. I think about this issue a lot. Where am I going in life? Should I bring along a friend or few for the ride? Does high school matter in the big scheme of life? If people have changed, does it mean we can't still be friends? Do they even like me anymore? Should I make efforts to get to know them (again)? When should I draw the line, and just fly by myself?

You are such a deep thinker Mallorina! I think its a very good quality to really ponder life...so keep pondering and dreaming and you will soar!!
wow I have seriously been thinking about the same thing...
People do change, things change, and you will change. High school really isn't that big of a deal, life goes on after (thank heavens!)! Looking back on high school, and even the beginning of this year of college, things that seem so big in the moment really don't matter! So just be who you want to be now! Don't base your happiness or decisions off other people, because most of these people won't be there forever. So only hold on to the good experiences you have had, remember the good friends but don't forget that life does go on! (p.s. and it gets WAY better!)
