If You Leave, I Hope You Need to Come Back

Just a quick description of the past few days.

Wow, life has been so busy.

It hasn’t really been horrible but it has just been action packed. Most recently, on Friday I went to a large invitational for track that was about two hours away from our school. My event, the 3200m, was the first to happen. I was supposed to run a 13:50 but unfortunately, I ran a 14:14. My PR is a 13:51. Oh well! It was super hot too. So, I spent the next 10 hours drifting in and out of consciousness.

I don’t really know the varsity team. I mean, I am varsity. Or, my uniform is and they let me go to invitational and whatever but during practice I just finish the workout and go on my merry way. I sort of got to know the people this time around.

I was worried that maybe things were going to be different in the future but I think if anything is going to be different, it is because it is going to be better.

On another note, I am most definitely not a fan of grass. At 9PM the school we were at decided to water the grass and my goodness, I could not stop sneezing and was grumpy for the rest of the night. Sneezing takes a lot out of me.

The next morning was a middle school track meet my high school likes to put on. It went pretty smoothly, unlike last time! Bianca and I tried to find shade while doing homework.

After we had an adventure out and about in town, I went with some of the senior cymbal players to see a performance down at the university. My friend Kyle was there as well, he is thinking about trying out for cymbals as well, so that’s exciting.

I saw Erika! She is pretty cool beans and I love talking to her.

Can’t think of much else besides all nighters and running out of energy drinks.

This Monday I’ll be taking a tour of the university just to see.

Good People

I don't believe in bad people.

Sure, you may not get along with certain folks but in general, they are good people. Their personality makes them someone else's best friend and I would hate to not have a best friend - Or at least good friends.

I don't think everyone has a best friend, unfortunately. But someone has made them smile and that is worth a lot.

People can steal and kill and hurt others but how are we to know their reasoning?

I'm not saying it is a good thing. I'm just saying it exists and they shouldn't be condemned forever. Actions do speak loud though.

I was watching a few videos where these people would go to a major city - New York, New Orleans, ect - and they would ask people on the street questions. All these people were unique: a sorority girl, a homeless man with no teeth, a housewife from Russia. It was quite interesting and they all earnestly yearned for something more - and if they didn't, there was still something deep with in. Something screamed, now that's a good person.

Or at least, a person is a good thing.

Where do you wish to wake up tomorrow?
What do you want to happen by the end of the day?
What is your deepest secret?

I don't think I would ever say those answers to a camera.

I wrote this is two sittings and now, I don't even know where I was going with.

Maybe, I just love my friends.
