thinking.

I just thought about everything that has happened the last few years and it just made me realize something, even though i have lost friends, i have also gained alot of new friends. Even though i have done bad things in the past, i learned from it. Even though i got grounded alot in the past, its almost been a year now of "ground free." Even though i have lost my parents trust in the past, i have restored it and now their trust in me is even stronger than before. I have learned from everything that has happened and from the things that i have done. Even though i've had some difficult months that i thought i would never survive, i did. Looking back on everything; the drama, the fighting, the misbehaving, the sneaking out, the partying.
i am thankful, because it helped me to become who i am today.
I learned that fighting with my parents would never get me anywhere and it definitely does not show how much appreciation i have for them. So now, i'm a whole different person. Fighting with my parents just isn't my thing. Yes, we do not always agree on the same thing but hey, i'm willing to swallow up my pride and just say sorry, because i love them. Wow just thinking about it, last year was a tough year but you know what? i learned self control from my experiences. i learned to be mature. i learned that partying isn't a life.
overall, i guess i finally learned to just, grow up.
