After everything that happened to me last year, I like to think that I have learned a ton and that I have changed for the better. A close friend of mine is going through something similar, and talking her through her problems helped me to see my situation much clearer. What I can see that is most important is making yourself happy first.
She is miserable because she feels like she is trying to be friends with someone who really doesn't appreciate her. She knows she needs to separate, but is facing the same feelings of sadness and anxiety that I was last year. It's so much easier for me, now, to see that she just needs to do what makes herself happy first, and after that, everything else will feel better.
Yes, getting in fights and losing friends sucks. It sucks to have to adjust and it sucks feeling alone. But through that, I saw that there was so much more out there for me, and that there were so many things I could do to make myself happy by putting myself first.
This year, I am involved and putting myself out there. I am doing things that I want to do, and in doing these things, I am meeting people that I actually get along with. I am actually happy and excited about things. I have different people to do different things with and different people to talk about different things with and it feels really good.
I used to think everything that happened ruined me. Instead, it was a new beginning. Senior year has been good to me and I'm unbelievably excited to see how great my future can get.
