Insane.

A little random and confusing at parts but hey it indicates my thoughts at the time of writing.

Life has been going at a very fast pace lately. Packing up my room and my sister’s has been the focus in my household. Feelings are flying about leaving to college. My best friend lives 2,000 miles away in my home state and she made the move to start her new journey. She was sad and nervous, but excited. 

This was a big milestone for her and it just made be very grateful that we are still friends through everything in life. 

Backstory: We became instant friends in pre-school, remained friends through every terrifying fight (I mean like throwing rocks and screaming). In fifth grade My family moved 2,000 miles away. Now, we were a rollercoaster friendship- sometimes best friends, other tomes enemies- so I am so thankful that we were on good terms. I remember the last night in my hometown like it was yesterday. Thunderstorming, happiness, and tears of my bestfriend’s little sister. Everything became so surreal that night. We stayed friends through everything. Still best friends today from pre-school to freshmen in college.

Yesterday, when she called me to talk to me on her milestone it made me realize that she is my best and only true friend. She always forgave me and never held a grudge. We tell each other nothing but the truth. We stick up for each other no matter what. 

I have had the hardest time finding a friend as loyal here in my new state. Every single friend I have now has something to say about someone- and not a good something. Instead of talking about ideas and plans, they just talk about celebrities and people. They are so cruel, the kind of friends who put each other down before picking them up. But the weird thing is- I still consider them friends. 

They were raised different and people are different. There are different kinds of friendships, they aren’t cookie cutters. 

Friendship is complicated. These souls have been included in my life for a reason. They have shared experiences with me that cannot be erased. 

Packing up.

My mother and I started packing up the rest of my sister’s belongings in her room. See, she went off to college and now we are going to be using her room for storage for both hers and my stuff that we leave behind. So, as we were packing up I realized how much she left behind. These things she left behind I thought were important to her but obviously I was wrong. These things were accessories, things she didn’t need but rather wanted. 

This inspired me.

Here we are in this life, going through the motions, and collecting all of these temporary items (movie tickets, birthday cards, baby dolls, etc.). These temporary items hold memories and the more powerful the memory the more permantent these items become. 

Then you have those permanent items you finally have to let go of and it’s like letting go of a memory, thus these items are temporary still but the memory isn’t.

Items are temporary, memories don’t have to be.

I am a hoarder of sentimental belongings. I admit that. This experience today lead me to begin a new path. This path being: be a hoarder of memories, not the items of a memory.

Morning.

A quick thank you to all the support I got last night! Thank you all for the motivation.

Anyways, this morning I woke up three hours late. Here is the conversation I had with myself:

7am: *alarm noise*

7am: “Agh, ok let’s get up” *turns off alarm*

7:01am: “Uhm, five minutes couldn’t hurt anybody”

Some unknown time during my dream in which I think was drawing an elephant airplane but created a normal airplane prototype: “Oh know I fell asleep, awesome! I need to get up now”

Time unknown: *sits up on bed* *cat meowing so loud it sounds like a human yelling* *freaks out starts preparing to go to battle* *cat runs upstairs into my room* *freaking out stops* *sees time*

10:00am: “Perfect timing” *feeds cat* 

Now, this is a random story, yes. This blog is going to be full of them. Then followed by a little explanation, so here I go:

Explanation: My cat was worried about me. He wanted to make sure I got up NOW to do my errands for the day. Maybe so, yeah who am I kidding? He was looking out for himself.
