Let's Go Back To The Start

Taking a look into what three months can do to a person is daunting. I've found myself in a situation unlike others. The most important of relationships are the ones we have with ourselves. Ultimately, our thoughts and actions take us into battle. Whether we choose to follow them, or leave them behind ends up placing us into a new direction with this never-ending road called life. And choosing to be happy, rather than upset over what will never be, is the most important choice we could ever make. Mistakes shape us and moves us forward. At the prime age of 19, I look back in the past three months thinking: wow, I am really here, How did I come so far? And then I realize I can do this. With friends, it's comforting, but as stated before, it's all in our mind. This moment, whether I choose or choose not to be happy defines the rest of my life. So now I finally realize, I can sit here, sulking about what will never be, and thinking what did I do wrong, or I can look forward and expect, and know that one day, I'll have something so much more, and have someone that feels the same way I feel about them. Here's to the next chapter of my life. Flaws and all.

It seems that most college students face regrets. From procrastination, to a drinking too much.. our mistakes come kicking, but why don't we ever learn? Stuck in a position of having too many drinks, I find myself in a complex situation, both personally and professionally. Here I am. A 19-year old college Sophomore completely fucked over by other people. In most situations, we allow ourselves to make our own choices, but with limited boundaries. However, my boundaries fell as anger and intoxication took over. When lies are revealed, it comes as a shock, and provides discomfort amongst friends, but when a friend commits a sexual act, is it right for the other friend to be discouraged? After all, friends accept one another, but what really constitutes a friendship between a relationship in certain situations? Does the matter of seeing and communicating between one another daily mean nothing compared to a one night stand in bed? And when the friendship obviously moves into limited boundaries, are we ever prepared to accept? In the matter of trust in relationships, where do we lie?
