Journal: Finally ready! -------------------------------------------Mood: Thinking...First off- sorry, everyone, for the frantic journal posting, but there's been a lot going on. I really don't have anyone to talk to.. so this usually just has to do. My last entry was about things that were actually going on.. my bad audition, my mountain climb tomorrow, my friend coming to stay in a couple of days. That's not what this one will be about though.. it's time for a Tale of Hayley.
lol. But it's true.. because last night I surprised myself with how I've grown up this summer. It really didn't seem like I was making any progress at all.. but then I was amazed at how I was so uncharacteristically unjealous last night. See, this is a problem with me.. I am (was?) just a really jealous person. Horrible habit, but nearly impossible to break. Seems like I'm starting to outgrow that- which is really awesome, because that was one of the things I really didn't like about myself. The actual story.. just that early in the summer I was pretty depressed and lonely.. I thought I had lost one of my best friends, and the boy next door down here, being the only one around and nice enough, seemed the perfect fit for the hole I was trying to fill. Got hurt all over again when news of his girlfriend arrived.. not a time I'm proud of. But then last night I was with Tyler (Mr. Next Door) and his girlfriend and his little brother for a good couple of hours, and I was proud and amazed to say the the usual risng green monster I was expecting a visit from was blissfully absent. Very not like me.. but pretty cool that I'm outgrowing some of my weaknesses. I could just enjoy being with my friend for the last time in who knows how long.. even if he wasn't the replacement I was looking for in my low time, he was still a good friend nonetheless. Putting things at peace is the best feeling.
I had to type that like 5 times to get it right. When I have a lot on my mind I have trouble putting anything into words (hence the inherrant lack of writing in recent time).. but growing up is pretty cool once you start to see everything, not just what you want to see, what you choose to see, the childish tunnel-vision we're all trying to grow out of.
Hope that was to the point and effective.. sometimes I really can't get words to work with me. This draft seems to have turned out pretty well. But with all of this, I think I'm finally ready to come home and face high school, friends, and all kinds of other things. I'm ready to take on everything.
