Summertime...And The Livin' Is _____
Fill in the blank. For me, it's semi-easy - what with summer school and all - and it's beginning to feel semi-lonely as well. I'm not bored, I don't really seem to get bored, I'm just starting to feel lonely. In some ways I've been replaced, even if it's not fully admitted I know I have been - sometimes roads seem to split at the weirdest of times - and now that all of my friends are back in town from their respective wonderful post-secondary institutions, I find it hard to see them because they're getting jobs (weird I know) and I'm still in school and attempting to study and do well. It's strange. It just hit me today after a conversation I had with Evan. Back to before, that's all I can really say. Things feel like they're changing and I don't know if I'm going to like what is coming my way in the future, and by future I mean next year and maybe even in a week or so. I don't know how I'm going to handle things, and I always like to know in advance how I'm going to deal with potential situations. But this time, I'm kind of stumped, and I really don't like it. I want to know what my decisions are going to be and I want to have a more concrete concept in my head of what next year holds. But I don't. And it might be tough, but I don't want a repeat of some aspects of this year, that's for sure. I apparently don't know how to handle myself as well as I used to, or maybe, I never actually handled myself all that well, but I thought I did. Some things came out of the woodwork and they were really not positive this year(to make a joke for someone like Jaysen, yes, maybe they could have been termites) and they really hit me. I realized that things went wrong because of me, not because of anyone else. This happened on several occasions. Honestly, I always thought I was in control of myself and that I was doing a good job, but I guess I wasn't. This doesn't make sense, but a lot of the times my blogs don't make sense to you guys, but that's alright. It's a code, and maybe that's fun. I don't know.
This blog sounds depressed and maybe it is a little. Things in my life are truly changing and I can't get a grasp on them. It feels like a lot of things are slipping away but all I want to do is be alone. Yet, I'm lonely at the same time. How does that work?
This isn't to say that I'm not grateful for my friends. I love you guys. A ton. And I am so incredibly grateful for all of the fun that we have had this year, because there's been a HELL of a lot of it. And it's weird because even though we saw each other 2 days ago, I miss you all already, and it feels way longer. I guess that's what THAR's all about - being attatched at the hip.
I need to work harder at life.
I need to call and email people.
I have always been terrible at that.
But it doesn't mean that I'm not thinking about you.
But so what, right?
I should get off my ass and do something about missing people.
I love you guys.
Just in case you were curious.
(And I'm sorry if you were).

Hey my little Spindle Lady!!! After reading your blog it made me think of people that I haven't kept in touch with. You're right THAR is all about being attached. It's crazy that we are all looking to hang out every two days, and when I don't, I'm lonely too. I wish that I had/have kept in touch with soo many people too. But I want you to know that I am here for you whenever you need a friend, or just feel like chatting. I love that I have been blessed with a friend like you and I think that you are fabulous. Never go changing my darling. love and hugs, Leah
p.s. I think that another sleepover is much overdue. Ciao babes
Chel,
You remind me so much of me.
Your blog makes sense, and it's not too much, it's just life. I love how human you are and I hope you never stop being this honest.
There was a particular summer that I look back on, where everything was changing and I wasn't sure who I was, who my friends were, or where I belonged. It was a very hard summer but I grew so much. I called it my "Summer of Independence" - I wrote a poem about it.
I also just want to warn you that the transition out of highschool can be really hard. Your priorities change, as do your friends. I used to dream almost every night that I was still in highschool, and wish I was.
But enough about me. You'll be okay because you allow yourself to think and feel. Not everyone does. And they miss out on life. It's tough business, this being lonely yet wanting to be alone. My advice is to take time to enjoy your own company. Be your best friend. Sounds lame, but it's actually really cool.
In other news, Summertime is one of my favorite jazz songs. My best friend Michelle always makes me sing it for her.
I love the picture of you and Brennan sharing the milkshake. Best picture ever.
