Anything Else? Actually Yes

So for the last month and a half or so, I have put one phrase in the "anything else?" box when I go to turn in my post, in hopes that it would make it onto the screen for class. However, it did not matter how early I turned in my post, the phrase never did. So here it is for anybody who could possibly still be reading my blog.

You're not gonna believe this, but I just found out that the last American Man-Eagle is still out there, and you can bet your balls I'm gonna ride that bird, and bring freedom, back to this TOWN!

So there, I said it. And screw you Nelson, cuz that shit's hilarious...

But enough about that, I'm here to do my final post for this class, so let me share what I have learned this year, and let these be some parting words my friends.

High school

a place where beautifully diverse minds

come together in a special way

to learn what paths of life they wish to take.

Some think that adult decisions start

when you move out to college or get a job

but no,

I have found that that is not the case

We begin making the choice of who we are

and who we wish to become 

when we consciously make choices due to

what others think about us.

We are social creatures

and to some degree all of us

want to feel like we are a part of something

like a community or family

As we strive to fit in with people that we admire

we can tend to get caught up in

and identity that isn't our own

and we may soon lose sight of 

the difference between 

who we are

and who we THINK we are

Realizing these things are not the same

is one of the first steps to self realization.

And finding true happiness

Because we are never truly happy,

unless we are truly ourselves.

This has been the biggest lesson high school

has taught me,

and it didn't come out of a 

lecture or a class

It was something I had to learn on my own

I hope that this is something you can take

with you as you continue your life

and that you'll find many amazing friends with this knowledge

The best of friends are the ones that love you for who you are,

no matter what.

Not the ones that love you for who they think you are,

because if you have to be somebody else to be their friend.

They aren't really your friend

I wish you all the very best as you move on to your next chapter.

And I just wanted to thank you for reading this, or any of my other posts.

Even if there are only a few of you, it means a lot knowing

that maybe I wrote these for more people than just myself.

And I hope you've been able to find some inspiration or something you can

connect with in the things I've written.

P.S. In a post I made a long time ago, I made a promise to tell you who I am. So...

I AM a powerful, passionate, creative, loving man of light

But hopefully you already knew that.;)

Thanks again
