Summer.

It's the middle of July. I seriously can't believe summer is almost over. What a summer it was! Basketball and softball everyday; seeing my friends, if I was lucky. Ah anyways, with every summer ending, a new school year is beginning! Mine will be my sophomore year. The year we all go MIA. I can't complain, I'm ready to lay low.
Okay, so what I'm typing about. Forgiving, but not forgetting.
What does this have to do with summer? Well, last summer I blocked out the world and did my thing with a few people. This summer, I've been with everyone and anyone. I've made new friends, rekindled with old ones, turned enemies into good friends. It's amazing what you can do with forgiveness. What good does holding a grudge do? My dad made a good point today. He said "Ya know, grudges suck for the person holding it. Ever noticed how the person with the problem is the miserable one?" He's completely right. It's hard hating someone, literally. Ha! I just really appreciate this summer for allowing me to get out and talk to new people or turn previous relationships completely around!
