mmmm. I kind of miss when people talked about feelings on here. Lately it seems like people just reblog pictures and cool looking things (which I don’t mind. A lot of it interests me). I guess ill share some feelings, and hopefully some of you will share, too.
I feel like I’ve grown up so much during this winter break. It literally feels like ive been out of school for a year. This break wasnt about me having lots of fun or hangouts with friends. I had a lot of time to myself to think about whats important to me and why it is ive become so truthful (aka bitchy) to certain people. Now, more than ever, I am understanding what it is to truly be a friend. Some of the people around me have no Idea what a friend is. A hug part of being a friend is respect.
These last few days have really opened my eyes to who my good friends are based on respect. Respect me enough to not call me something I think is offensive. Respect me enough not to play music when my head is already pounding. Respect me enough to not make funeral jokes when I just lost someone dear to me on New Year’s eve. Respect me enough to check in on me when I need it the most. Respect me enough to not continuously harass me with lame as fk racial jokes over and over again.
It is so true when they say you form lifelong, strong friendships in college. One of the many reasons I love UT is that I am really meeting great people who do not take the word “friend” lightly. I’ve barely known these people for 4 months and they are better friends than ones I’ve known for years. I cant quite wrap my finger around that.
If you are one of the ones who think I’ve become bitchy, then you have no idea how to be a friend. I wont waste anymore of my energy treating you with respect when you do not respect me.

Which path will be right for me?
No such thing as a right path. Its what you make of the path you choose :]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj8kytd6US1qbjh0go1_500.jpg)
