This Is Life



In every lifetime, there are a million obstacles that one comes across. In my short 15 years, I have come across some of the most amazing people I will ever meet. These people have taught me to be unafraid. They reminded me of who I was before certain people left. I was once again, the "CharmBracelet" that I knew. The outgoing, crazy, and "always there" CharmBracelet. This first year has gone by in a blur. But I don't regret a single thing. I have loved who I loved, and done what I've done. There's no going back. There's no changing the past. What I've done has made me who I am. And these people? These absolutely amazingly unforgettable people? They'll always be in my heart. I believe that this year was much more bittersweet than my promotion. Why? Because I feel like I'm losing some of my favorite people to colleges.


I've never liked summer. I took high school as a chance to reinvent myself. But throughout the course of the past year, I realized, that I have no need to reinvent myself. If the people I meet like me for who I am, then so be it. And If they don't? Who cares? I'm not here for them. I'm here for me. There are certain things you can and can't be selfish about. Doing something for yourself is not selfish. Wanting someone else to change their life for you? That's selfish.


Jie's right. Not just about Pink. But about Life. You get once chance to do it your way. You get one chance to live life. Why not? Last night at the banquet, the seniors said some thing in their goodbye messages that really made me think. One of them said that when you look back, you're reminded of how you could've put in just that much more effort into whatever you did. You could've done just that much more, and things would've been spectacular. They were right. Another said that there were many thing she didn't like about herself, but being around those people, made her feel like there was something worth liking.


The things that the human life can do are beyond imagination. You can change a life, you can make a person think, and you can only live it once. Don't waste your days thinking what if? Go and do it. Because in the back of your mind, you'll always be thinking "what if I had done this or that?" Don't leave those questions there.


I never liked summer. But I'm going to make this one, one of the best. I have this one summer with Pink. And I have the ability to make it the best summer ever, because this time, it's not one sided. He's here with me this time. Every step of the way.


Waiting for the perfect start to summer. This saturday x3

You'll have more than just Pink along the way. I'll be here when all else fails. This is the perfect summer for you and you'll remember it for the rest of your life. I believe in you. Don't take for granted any moment of your life.

Love,
Jie
