A Map Without A Trail
Today I went to my Grandparents surprise anniversary party. I admire my grandmother the most of anyone I have ever met. The nonsense I complain about is nothing compared to what my Grandma went through. I've learned from her that even when life stabs you in the back and leaves you in the dark, you can heal....you can find the lost light.
I know after I graduate the real life is going to punch me smack in the middle of my face. I'm no longer going to have the school walls shielding me from the outside world. A huge step must be taken, and I will have to become a wall which cannot be broken.
I'm going to make a promise to myself, I promise is to not lose who I am. No matter what I will not become someone else. We are individually special, we each have something no other person will ever have, it may not be what you think it is, and no person my ever know what makes them so unique (unique New York, unique New York....), but honestly I think not knowing is for the best.
Sorry to bore you.

Carl, im right there with you. So i got good at dodging fists. (metephores for kids compleatly and totaly trying to destroying me with and endless barage of insults and physical intimidation...)
But i still don't think that i'll be ready for the blow of the real world.
But i don't want to be a wall, walls may be strong, but they block other people and hurt when you run into them. I'd rather be a tree. Just as strong, but also suplied shade and fruit for the people passing by.

there is nothing i would like to do less than go to a wedding this weekend. NOTHING. and especially not an indian wedding.
maybe i will pretend to be deathly ill and sit at home all day. but i don't think my parents will buy it.
