take these broken wings and learn to fly.

i love making new friends and meeting new people. senior year has brought so many incredible people into my life. i've made some friendships that i hope i will have for a long time to come. the last few days have been a complete turn around since last week. i've realized that other people's mistakes are not my fault. i have a tendency to take things too personally, which is something i'm working on. i shouldn't allow the things other people do effect me so much. i have too many things to be happy with to obsess over things that really don't matter in the long run. each moment i have is a moment to make worthwhile, especially now. as i'm getting closer and closer to the end of this chapter in my life, i'm starting to be aware of what truly matters, what makes life beautiful. i'm learning a lot about myself with each passing day, and you know what, i'm liking the person i'm becoming. 

as my beloved TAI says, "these are the fast times."

oh, and i'm stuck on two bands at the moment: gorillaz, thanks to bill and trav's, and the beatles, thanks to our lovely newspaper trip car ride. what a weird combination.
