Graduation

 Graduation thats a very exciting yet scary word to say I am excited to graduate and go off into the world of college and adult hood but then again I have grown so close to this place I have been at for the past 4 years and the people than have helped me through this journey and the people that have experienced every step with me and for a person that doesn't like change this is not very easy. I am afraid that since I wont have a set schedule in my life that I wont become as successful as I want to be and I will lose the friends that I am so afraid of losing and that I will become more of a disappointment to myself more than I already am. I am also very excited because I will finally be free from the messed up school district that has caused so many problems  and I am excited for all the new opportunities I will encounter and the success I will accomplish throughout my life, I am excited for all the new people and friends I will make in college and at work and I can't wai...

What I think of the Heart of Darkness

In english we are reading the book called the Heart of Darkness and personally I find it some what interesting but I can not find myself to get very involved when I read it. I end up getting very bored and sometimes falling asleep when we talk about it in class. I find the story behind it very fascinating and interesting but my body thinks other wise. While i was reading it at home I was finding myself getting very distracted by my phone or anything other than the book it self. As for in class when Mr. Burge would talk about it, I personally love when Burge talks about the books he read and how much he loves them and going into more detail about them but for some reason I again find myself getting very distracted and sleepy and I don't know if it because I didn't get enough sleep that night or what. But personally i do really like the book and the story behind it but maybe the way its worded bores me.

My friends aka my favorite people in the entire world

In my friend group if you all see us together it  isn't what you would normally expect because if you look at us we are a little different from other friend groups. you see we have all basically been friends since middle school and although some of us didn't talk in middle school we became a lot closer when we reached high school because we didn't know a lot of people at aact but we knew we went to school together before so why not hang out. But my friends group consists of a grown 18 year old man with 89 year old back problems, another grown 18 year old man with the same problems but many people know him as the scary looking one that wears the exact same thing everyday. It also consists of 4 teenage girls one that is obsessed with Harry Potter and Calum Hood and has the exact same music taste as me which in the long run is great because of all the new music i will receive. The other is a very short and petite girl who many people t...

I saw the movie love Simon

Over spring break I saw the new movie Love Simon and I just wanted to say it was one of the best movies that has come out in 2018. It has helped a lot of LGBT people especially teens to come out and it has also helped a lot of their families to learn how to accept and understand what they are going through. It has brought a lot of families closer. This movie has had a bunch of tweets written about it and it is mainly from teenagers talking about how after their family saw this movie they apologized and cried and finally understood what their child has gone through and they try harder to accept and understand them. I cried during the movie because of the way Simon's family accepted him and the way they talked to him to let him know that nothing will change and that he will always be Simon.  That has a lot of meaning behind it because many families find it hard when someone they know or in their family come out as gay because they cant understand but Lov...

What poetry means to me

 In my eyes I have always view poetry as a way for people to let out their feelings and put them into something beautiful whether that be happiness, anger, betrayal, sadness. Poetry to me has always had a sad meaning behind everything I read because that must be the easiest feeling to release onto paper and turn it into something else. As for me I have never found it easy to write about how I feel or my feelings. Poetry always has a deep meaning behind it whether its a short 4 line poem or a page or two long poem. I have always been interested in poetry for that reason. I like to figure out what people are thinking or going through when they wrote that poem also I like to understand the meaning behind the poem and understand why they wrote it in the first place and what made them write it. Other than that I believe poetry is a beautiful thing and it can help many people is so many ways because it can help people release what they are feeling into words. 

New music makes life a little bit better

Lately I have been finding a bunch or new music, whether it is from you tube, hearing it on the radio, in a grocery store or from my friends sending me a new playlist or song and saying " hey I thought you might like this song" or " I thought of you when i heard this".  It doesn't matter on how you find the song or album , music will always find a way to bring light and joy into your life and it makes the song even more special if someone you care about sent it to you saying this made me think of you. If you are ever having a bad day or even a good day music will always be there to make you feel better in any situation. Music has helped a lot of people get through hard times going on in there life and it has also helped a lot of people get through life one day at a time and stay here a little longer. Music is just really powerful and every time I find a new song or artist my heart grows a little more.
