Thoughts running through a whirlwind

Lately I've done a lot of thinking about life in general. Like how much I have changed as a person over the past year and just a bunch of other things.

Since moving to Utah, I have realized so much about life. Life is not about just your self and getting by. There is so much more to it then that. You won't always be friends with those who you were friends with for most of your life. Friendships come and go.

Since moving I have had a better understanding on who my TRUE friends are. They are the one's who reach out and keep in contact with me. They are the one's who were there for you during hard times. They listen to you and love you for who you are.

I have learned in my life that yes people are mean and there is nothing you can do to stop them from being that way. The only thing you can do is move on and ignore them. Your better then they are. Don't go down to their level and try to get payback. I have been through MANY hard times in life. I've been picked on. So what? That's life. I'm glade that those people where that way to me. It made me in the end a stronger person. The person I am today.

I often think back and wonder "Why did that girl have to make those fake emails and try to get me in trouble for stuff she did?" "Why were those kids mean to me when I was being a friend to someone who basically had no one to talk to?" "Why did that kid have to do the things he did to me and my friends?" These are just some of the many things that have been going through my head lately and there may be no answer to these questions at the moment or down the road but because of these hardships in life I've grown as a person and became better then I ever thought I would.

Many people ask me "How do you like it here?" "Do you miss Montana?" and the answer to those is. I LOVE it here! I wouldn't have changed it for anything. I'm glade that I moved here. Moving here is probably one of the best moves I've had in a long time. I'm happy here. I couldn't ask for anything better. I feel accepted for who I am and not for who I am not. I have made MANY great and AMAZING friends. I've made some great memories. If I didn't move here then I would probably still be confused, hurt, in denial, and a lot of other things. Moving here has changed me for the better. I know more of who I am and what I want in life. I know better now what is best for me and just a lot of other things that I probably would have NEVER figured out if I didn't move here. I'm simply blown away by how nice and welcoming everyone here is. I haven't felt this welcomed in a place since I moved in 4th grade to a new elementary school that was in the same town and I want to thank each and everyone of you guys that have made my life here such a great experience so far and for all the great memories that have been made and I can't wait to make more.

And for all of ya who are asking if I miss Montana....the answer is yes I do. I miss my brother and my friends, and my old ward, but that's it. I don't miss the school, the drama, having to always talk to the police cause someone's threatening me or a friend, the consent fear of getting hurt no matter were I am. I'm happy now and I'm glad I'm here now. Montana taught me a lot about life and I'm glad I got to learn that stuff about life.

I want to personally thank all of my friend here that I have made in the past year for making my senior year so great and just accepting me for who I am. I'd also like to give each of you a hug. You guys truly are amazing and don't let anyone tell you anything else. I look up to all of you for inspiration and advice. Thanks guys for being so kind and welcoming to me. I love each and everyone of you and when I can I'll be personally thanking you.

Lots of Love
