Hey to readers out there! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting in a while. I just kinda lost my creative juices over the break. Well here's what I've been up to! For New Years Eve, my family and I went downtown together and it was really fun. All the Christmas lights were still out and it was just pretty. We were hoping to see some fireworks but I guess they didn't have any this yr. When we got home, we watched the ball drop in Times Square. (It seemed like there weren't any good channels this yr..) I jumped when it was 12 like usual and made my new yrs. "wishes" and resolutions (get taller bahaha, get TOMS...., and read the Bible in a yr) We got back to school on Jan. 7 and it feels like we already need a break (we did get a half day yesterday cus of ice and "snow dust"). Ha, I kinda wish summer was already here! Well, I wouldn't want to skip my birthday which, ahem, is only a month away from tomorrow! My mom says she's getting me an Iphone4s:) and I might be getting the new Crochet Toms or a leather purse. My birthday's special this yr. so we're planning a small "fancy" party.
Last week I tried PSH's ikat nails and it turned out messyish but easy and cool! I got lots of compliments including a girl who sat two seats from me in our school assembly (she leaned over the girl beside me during the preaching and was rlly ecstatic about my nails lol) and my art teacher.
I'll post the pic when I get to my desktop. Btw, we got this rlly cool wireless printer today! Now, we can print everything from anything.
This post is rlly random haha... But I've been thinking a lot about friendships. Things change a lot over just a few yrs. At school, I see some people I used to be close friends with. I can still remember our laughs and conversations. Some of them I wasn't super close with so I understand why we're not together anymore. But also some of them invited me to their birthday parties and houses. And when I come across their path, it seems like we've never met before. We just look at each other and move on. We have those silent convesations saying we understand--we've changed. It's not a bad change neccessarily. We're just different. I see some people who I used to fear when I was younger and less confident, and I laugh at myself. Why was I so intimidated. Now some of them respect me and are actually my friends. There are those people I used to giggle and scream with and now we're just so distant. We're just awkwardly polite with each other. We do sometimes reminisce memories together . Sometimes friendships just slip away without you meaning to. But then sometimes you just want to break away. I've done that with some... It's better to be alone than to be with bad company. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time when you see other people who used to be best friends, those who said "We're never gna grow apart!", But then they barely talk to each other anymore. Those people might not be bad but they just didn't help me walk with God. But I still do like thinking of those memories we made and thinking about what would we be like if we had stayed together (oh my this is sounding like a girl thinking about a past breakup!). Those changes were also good in a way though. I've found true friends who lift me up and help me run to Christ. There are still some shady spots in my garden where I'm still unsure about certain friends, but as time goes on, I know God will clear things for me like He has already been doing.
Thanks for listening to me run on and on with my life story! Have a great day!
