dont drop the banana!

It’s funny how things change in the course of a year. The people you hang out with continue to grow and learn, as you yourself do as well.
Last summer I spent hours enjoying text conversations that went into the late hours of the night until either party fell asleep, only to continue the conversation the next night. Those were some of the best conversations I’ve had in the longest time and I’m very appreciative of them. He helped me to appreciate bluntness, showed me opinions matter, and opened my horizons on music. I’m not going to lie, I was a bit singled minded when it came to music. I appreciated certain genres more than others. But as I lay on my bed listening to my iPod on shuffle, I’m glad I made the first move to talk to him in class.. Well it wasn’t really talk, it was more like draw tic tac toe on a piece of paper and pass it to right. What?! I needed to grab his attention somehow, haha. I had selfish intentions when I did it, and even though nothing happened between us after months of talking, that single moment in time gave me a new friend, and showed me that there is nothing wrong with living in the moment and taking chances.
I took way more chances this past year than i should have but ya know what?, even though the outcome of each event wasn’t what I would hoped for them to be, I’m more than satisfied with the fact that I have done them. How many people can stand next to a person they told they had feelings for, survive through the crash and burn of seeing that person with someone else and still be happily content that they can still be friends with that person, hold conversations as you did a year ago and nothing is weird. I took chances on various internships and grew attached to the idea of having each one and when the rejection letters came, well that sucked. I reached out on friendships that died for stupid reasons i thought were important in high school and I’m glad I did because I now have people in my life that I didn’t know I missed so much. I’m beginning to try and have a relationship with my father, but it is going to take more time than anyone can imagine. I reached out on new friendships and can’t wait to see how those bonds will get stronger with time. I may have destroyed an amazing friendship because of selfish reasons but I don’t regret my actions. Come fall term I hope we’ll be able to hold conversations again, or maybe sooner than that because I miss laughing so hard. I miss the stories..
The point of this was just to say, that taking chances is okay. Sure not getting the results you want hurts more than anything, but in its cliche form, helps you to grow and learn about yourself. You are never going to know you hate fish fingers and custard until you try it.

Take chances.

(ps. The fish sticks and custard is a Doctor Who reference and no I haven’t tried it… But maybe I should, take chances)

So I had this large can of pineapple juice that I bought and I was in the process of transferring it in a container to put in the fridge, when my sister Lilly intervened.. I disappeared for a second and then my can of juice was gone! I left the kitchen for no more than 2 min just now. When she came back she said ” well what happened was that I thought it was a can of pineapple slices so I started spilling out the juice and when I lifted the lid I realized what I did. If it makes you feel better I laughed at myself for being stupid”…
It did but I still want my juice D:

I’m finally accepting that the harry potters are over and bought the last film for the collection. Let the water works start, again..
