 I love when I'm outside during the summer on those white plastic chairs. When I'm with my brothers and my family and we just talk. Maybe have a one drink or fifteen... of sprite or coke. The music in the background while the music is playing in the background. Those nights really was the best I've ever had.

Prompt: Reflect on a time when you had to rely on someone else. How did it feel? Jan 13

I never understood math so I would always find a way to get better at it. It started off by studying, or by asking a girl I thought was fine for help. Eventually it didn't help me in the end.

I told him Id rather use a sawzall but he had a sinister smile and told me to hit it. I broke it open a all that liquid in there exploded out for a second. I got hit a little and he was laughing.

Wild, Cheryl Strayed writes about the difference between deciding to do something and actually committing to it: “There was the first, flip decision to do it, followed by the second, more serious decision to actually do it.” Reflect on a time in your own life when you made a quick or casual decision that later required a deeper commitment. Describe what changed between the first decision and the moment you realized you truly had to follow through. What fears, challenges, or responsibilities became real once the decision was no longer just an idea? JAn 12

I asked out a girl and then realized that I had someone that I had to be with everyday. At first it was all nice until it wasn't. I really never had time for anything it was just work hang out, work and hang out. Over the summer I ended up getting real tired of it, and I talked to friends Ive had for years less and less. It was hard to balance it all so I just ended it.
