I keep wishing for things to be the way they were in high school

28 July, 2008

Enough said. I’ve been dwelling in the past for ages now, wishing things were the way they used to be… not only with my ex, but with my friendships and my own attitude at present. life just gets worse from here i assume… any ideas to get out of this rut? btw im 20 years old, so i guess its been about 3 years since i finished high school.
I went through the same thing. High school is a care free time with little responsibility and lots of fun. Things won’t ever be the same but it doesn’t mean it won’t be better. Focus on today and not yesterday and get as much positive out of each day.

Wow, I should take my own advice I guess.

i didnt like high school-but i sure like my crazy days of car clubs, girls and the likes. And smoking. Loooord I still miss smoking. When they were over and i settled down, well, it just felt odd. Out of focus. Then i realized i was grieving! I was mourning the loss of my days of no responsibilities, party lifestyle, etc. Once i learned how to grieve, I learned how to "finish", so to speak.
Sounds like it’s time to start mapping out the future. Where do you want to be in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years? That time will pass either way, so you may as well go for it.

High school often seems like a dress rehearsal, waiting for your real life to begin. Then the real life looks a tad disappointing. So dream a little. Write it down. Somewhere on that list is one thing that really blows your skirt up, no matter how unlikely it sounds. That’s the one that you need to start working toward. You may end up somewhere entirely different, but it will still be someplace exciting, interesting, and fulfilling to you.

Good luck!
