Deviation Actions
It's all bittersweet, at best. Tomorrow marks my sixteenth birthday, and right now the sixteenth autumn that I've seen (a very rainy one, at that).
At that date lies a loss of inner and outer youth, but there also lies greater freedom and even greater responsibility. Whether these newly found obligations will worry me or set me to greater heights will be in the hands of my own decisions. On that day, I will pledge once again to brazenly face new contracts and embrace the things that may come. I will recognize the fact that my actions will shape my habits, and ultimately shape my character towards myself and others. I promise to fight on and live my days as if they were the last. After all, the future is never guaranteed.

Time
So ... I've been looking back on my journals here recently. I look at all these emotions and experiences and memories, and I'm just thinking to myself, "dang ... has all this happened in the span of only a few years?" It's somewhat strange, because I read these and it feels as though I was a completely different person back then than who I am today. Still, there are parts of me I can recognize that are still a part of me to this day: the introspection, the open-mindedness, and the emotional investment I have in certain things.
It's just absolutely amazing how much I've changed in such a short span of time. Well, it's essentially short, b
Traveling Abroad
I'm likely to expect that you've noticed the lack of photos on my profile.
Well, I am happy to announce that I'll have plenty of pictures coming. Spring Break (for me) starts tomorrow and I'll be able to provide many photos once break is done. The reason for this is because I'll be traveling abroad for the first time tomorrow, destined for Italy to travel with the school band.
It's going to be extremely thrilling, and I hope to provide some great snapshots of the country for you all. I will also bring along a travel journal to write in, so I could possibly transcribe what I write to this journal after my journey if you'd like that.
I Am A Fighter
Another school year is upon me, and brand new challenges will await. It will be a tough road for me to tread upon, full of sharp stones, harsh weather, and countless crossroads where decisions of all difficulties will await. Some decisions made shall change my life forever, whether it is for the better or the worse. Sacrifices will be a necessity and shall be made without hesitation if they are worthwhile.
As scary and difficult as school and the other things I plan to accomplish will be, I am not afraid. I'm determined to give only the best that I can offer, and at the end of the day when I am fatigued and say to myself "that wasn't eas
Dusty Fingers. A Strong Urge. Indecision
After digging out some old and very poorly made stories that I wrote when I was a kid, I had come back to realize how much of a passion (and skill, some others may say) I have for writing. So even though I hate being forced to read Jane Austen right now (over my Spring Break, and I am glad to have had the opportunity to do so before the class starts), I know the reasons why I'm in the advanced English classes. The key to good writing is good reading, as Avi says.
Goodness gracious, I wanna write something now!
Problem is, I really don't know what I want to write. I'm a perfectionist (I use this term loosely, as nothing is ever perfect),
