Reflections on Summer 2003
A discussion I had with Michael inspired this post.
This summer was supposed to be great. I had a boyfriend who I was crazy about, I was going to get my license, get a job, and just have fun. On June 4, 2003 that all changed. That's the night Santiago broke up with me out of nowhere. I was shocked and hurt and filled with unanswered questions. I basically stopped my life at that point. Sure, I went out ocassionaly and did stuff, and eventually started to get over him but everything I had planned on doing never got done. Upon thinking about this after more than 2 months have passed, I have come to the conclusion that this summer was about learning. I learned a lot about myself. I am stronger than I thought I was. I learned I don't ever want to let someone else's actions stop me from living my life. That's never going to happen again. I learned that I have friends that care about me and who will always be there for me. I learned that I never want to waste a day, I always want to be thankful for each day that I am alive because that is a gift. I feel like I'm finally on track again and with my second year of college starting on Monday, that's a great thing. If I see you know who, my plan is to avoid him at all costs. He better not even try to get back with me because he's not going to. I gave him everything and just pushed me aside. I'm not going through that again. No way. I'm happy to be going back to school. I've always felt very at home at school. This semester, I have two teachers that I've had already, so I'm looking forward to that.
Well, I think that's it hehe. I hope all is well with you guys.
Love,
Amanda
