Burned the bridge. (What I read at the open mic)

Life is all about time,

With out time

We wouldn't be able to remember

I want to remember.

I wish that I go back and remember everything I've ever done

That way I can't basque in all of my glory, my success, my accomplishments.

But..

I know that I would be so stuck in my pit of dispair, disappointment, losses

My life seems that it's a downhill slope.

The look of disappointment on your mothers face when you let her down.

The way your father hits you for making your mom cry

You thought you were cool.

But you aren't.

That bridge is now burned 

Life won't ever be the same.  

Well Shit.

...Was it worth it?

I am.....

I am a man who used to be super social and had no fear. But Since sophomore year, I have lost my edge. All of my old friends are now just aquaintances.. It all happened when my friends started hanging out with the kids from Mt. Ridge. It was the summer of ninth grade and I was gone all of the time because my family traveled, when I finally got a chance to hangout at the end of the summer I barely knew anyone anymore. I didn't know what to do so I just went home. Since that day I have not been the same, no matter how hard I try to be as social, I can't. But I don't complain About it because I wouldn't be the man that I am today if I didn't go through that struggle. I am so glad that I went through that because I like the person I have become and I see what I could have been and I don't think I want to be that person. 

It was hard, don't get me wrong! But what can I do, life threw at me a curveball and I ended up making something out of it. Thanks life, you have done me well.

I am....Jared Collins

Paris

Daytime in Paris is quiet and peaceful. Everyone does their own thing. But when people are alone at night or at parties, they go all out and say things out of their comfort zone. Like these blogs, we all have this way we act in society. But when we can hide behind a pen name, we suddenly are comfortable saying all of our secrets because no one will ever know it was you.

But that isn't entirely true, we are going to have to declare to the world who we are. I am not sure what I feel about this. I understand that it is what should happen. But it is scary, to know that in just over a day we will be announcing our identities. Ahh I hate being nervous, I mean I shouldn't be nervouse because there are only a couple of people who read this but it's still terrifying. 

I like it though. It is teaching me to overcome my fear. This class has done that for me countless times. My life has been changed due to Mr. Nelson. Thank you, you are such an inspiration in my life and I owe the world to you. Thank you for being my friend. Thanks.
