Life Is a Journey

Hi everyone! How did everyone's day go?

Good, I hope!

Anyway, in my last post I mentioned introducing you guys to my best friend. And I am in this post. But I didn't want to do one that just focused on him. So, I've been thinking. And thinking. And... you get the picture.But anyway, I decided to do a little walk down memory lane. I'm going to introduce you, yes, but I'm going through and putting all my favorite memories from my favorite grades. You'll find out why at the end of this post, if you read all the way through.

Okay. I'm going to introduce you, but I'm not going too in-depth. I'm not putting names or pictures, as I said, I don't really have his permission.But I am going to introduce you! I guess I should start!(:

So, nine years ago I started Kindergarten at a school where I knew no one. Well, I knew one person. My mom knew several, she was literally pointing people out and saying "Oh, look, there's so-and-so who's related to this person....Oh! There's so-and-so, I helped her with her insurance at work!" and it went on. Keep in mind, I'm five, and I have NO clue what she's talking about. So I'm nodding, and being shy and nervous. This is probably my favorite memory. At the time, I was so naive. I had no idea that I'd grow to love the school as much as I do now. I had no idea that I'd have so many memories, so much.... stuff that I hold on to from these nine years!

First Grade I know quite a few people now, but the Kindergarteners were always kept separate from the rest of the school. We had our own gym, recess, everything. I don't remember starting 1st grade really, although I do remember quite a bit from that year. I guess starting wasn't as exciting as Kindergarten? Haha(: This is the year I probably met my best friend for the first time. I really don't remember meeting him, he's always been just....there. I really never talked to him back then, either. He was just one of the older kids (a year older, but anyway), someone I didn't hang out with because he was older and that was how it was back then. The girls hung out with each other and the boys hung out with each other. Some were "cooler" than others. You know, typical 1st-3rd grade stuff. I think my favorite memory from this year would have to be trying to rap a song with one of my friends. Ha, imagine, a first grade me rapping with a first grade friend. Man, I haven't talked to her since the summer of.

Second Grade This is the grade I met one of my amazing best friends. She moved to my school this year, and at first we did not like each other. At all. I remember almost getting in trouble because I practically  yelled that she was SO MEAN. But I love her to death now. I don't know why we got off to a rough start, but she's a great friend now(: I don't know what I would do without her.

Third Grade This is the year I met another of my best friends. She was so shy (: I remember hanging out with her and not really knowing what to think. We've both changed so much through the years, but she is one of my amazing best friends right now. I love her to death also. I don't know what I would do, how I would make it through life without her chasing off all those crazy boys (; she's awesome. Another of my favorite memories, it really saddens me now though, is I can remember one time quite clearly. I don't know what I was doing, but one thought I remember so clear. I can't wait for sixth grade. I don't know why that grade, I don't know what my hurry to grow up was, but I so wish I could go back to that moment and say Never mind, I'll enjoy life right now. This was also the year I started writing. I love it now! The bad thing, though, is that if I don't write pretty often, I start talking poetically/descriptively and people look at me quite weird haha(:

Fourth Grade I really don't have any good memories from this year. I hated fourth grade. I was shy, and my school is so small that if you can't keep your head up, you drown. You get trampled and forgotten. I hated it. If I could, I would go back and fix it. I'd love to. But I'm past it. I guess I do have a favorite memory. This is the year I set a reading....ugh forgot the word. Good job, Bree!  Anyway, I think I'll pass it this year, and I hope I do(:

Fifth Grade This is the year the fifth and sixth grade were clumped together, although the boy/girl thing is still in place. This is the year I am finally becoming a little more outgoing, but I still wasn't.... quite.... I don't know. I don't like remembering fourth and fifth grade. Kinda haunts me in my sleep. But, my point is this was the year I started breaking out of my shell. This was the year I started kind of talking to people. And my favorite memory? This is the year I got an amazing teacher. She literally buys me books to read. She's the best teacher. Ever.

Sixth Grade Ha, this was the year the best friend grew ten feet (or...he's six feet tall, ya know) and started making fun of me because I'm two feet shorter than he is. Of course. (Now I'm about ten or so inches shorter than him) (I still get made fun of) (He thinks making fun of me is funny. Go figure) Oh, and the fact I go cray-cray when given chocolate fed the fuel >_____< My favorite memory? Hmm...I have to many to name for this grade. I don't think I could name just one... haha(:

Seventh Grade This is where I really start talking to my best friend. The beginning of seventh grade, the best friend and I really didn't talk. He was my best friend's crush, and until she moved we really didn't talk much. He still teased me for being short, partly because he teases everyone for being short >___< Around December/January, another of my best friends developed a crush on him, but we talked a little more. He finally realized I'm not as weird as I come off to be, most of the time haha(: February? We talked a TON. After uh...a very unfortunate event with one of his close friends at the time. Around the end of February. And then around the end of March/beginning of April, he gave me very good reason to trust him. And I did. I don't trust anyone, and even now he still has to beg me sometimes to tell him whats wrong. From there, he was my best friend. Or "bestest friend" as he came to be known, partly because he's a little closer to me than my four other best friends. Partly because all my friends have cool nicknames haha(: And partly because he came up with it himself. My favorite memory? Probably a party I went to with my friends. Or the archery competition. Or just about any of the time I hung out with le best friend.

Eighth Grade This year. I'll be graduating with one of my best friends this year, and off to high school next year. I really do not want to go. I don't know why, though. Just don't. But I haven't finished this year yet. I should really not worry as much. I don't know what my favorite memory this year would be. I haven't finished yet. I think the day I graduate, that will be my post.

Well, back to my best friend.

In a year, I've come to know this boy almost as good as I know myself. I think it's amazing how much you can learn about someone. How much you can overcome, how much someone would do for you just because you've stuck by their side no matter what happens. In the past year, I've been given every reason to walk away, but I'm more open minded than most people. The summer was the worst, probably because someone tried to die on me. And then again back in November (I think) , and I could have so thought "Wow, don't want to get caught up in this, I might end up in trouble." but I'm glad I didn't. I'm glad I heard him out before I judged. The good thing? My mom would adopt him in a heartbeat. I swear, those two.... He calls her momma, which she finds hilarious(: I think she just likes him 'cause he likes NASCAR :P My brother thinks he's pretty dang cool, too(: My sisters? Eh, they could care less. My dad... really hasn't talked to him all that much. The bad thing about my mom and him being pretty cool around each other? They both like to mess with me. A lot. And they have to exchange stories. >____________< Not the worst thing, but oh well (:

I wrote this post to go back down memory lane a bit. I really don't let myself much, because I get sentimental  thinking about the past and... it goes downhill from there. Anyways.

So I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about me! And the best friend! I would tell you more, but uh.... I've been writing this for two hours. I'm done haha(:

Hope you have a lovely day everyone!(:

Much Love!(:
-Bree♥
