Flip, well here we go again... I thought it would be best update my blog before we hit June. Since my last blog, I have become 18, that's right, a legal adult. This year has been crazy. Last year was sooooo awesome and then this year hit and that all changed (just to let you know, I am talking about the academic year - starting at September). At about November time, I was really low and I hated life, I couldn't understand why certain things happened and other things didn't. I was disconnected from God. A sentence containing those words 'disconnected' and 'God' is never good. Then a lot of things happened to me and to be honest I'm not feeling great about everything now but I know it all has a reason. Through the months I was really down I kept a smile on my face hoping when someone actually asked me 'how are you doing?' they were actually asking me how I was coping and not just being polite. Why do I sit and write out all my personal things here, so you, the reader can learn from it. What I'm trying to say is, if you have a problem, talk to someone, trust me it helps. Even if it's a small problem. Also, sit down with people and 'invest' into their lives, see how they are actually doing and not just be polite.

What has changed in the months since November for me? Three things actually.

God has changed my perspective but showed me through old ways, taking me to the basics of his teachings and love.

I have had a friend who has 'invested' time into my life, hanging out with me and talking. I now have a great relationship with him.

When taking one of my closest friends home some nights, I am able to sit and open my heart to her and tell her everything that's bothering me. She's great and I don't think that she realises the impact she has had in my life in the past months.

So, live it, let's see what tomorrow brings because I think we have lost the excitement that anything can happen tomorrow.
