Looking At The Past

"We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same."

- Anne Frank

I'm 16 now. As I sit here on the computer, I think, what was I do back then? Middle school was a very awkward time for me. I tried to be cool by wearing the small amount of Abercrombie clothes that I had. I talked to all the popular kids hoping I would be in the crowd one day. Well when 7th grade ended and I went to Three Fires for 8th (Highlander Way for 6th and 7th). I had to start over. No big deal, I kept the same close group of friends through 9th and 10th grade.

Today, The Strokes started playing on my itunes. This is when reality set in. In my English class, I sit next to one of those "popular" kids. Now, we are good friends. Both very much into music. We had a lot in common in then to but never realized it because we were both blinded by the hierarchy of Middle School politics. 

I don't have a best friend. But at least I'm happy. I wasn't happy in Middle School. I didn't have a best friend and was worried. I think I understand how things work now. It doesn't matter what you're doing or who it's with, as long as you're happy.

I think I'm finally happy.
