So for the day after prom (Sunday May 17th) a bunch of friends and I went up to my friend Ellie's lake house. It was a fantastic time. Honestly I don't think I could think of a better way of spending my time. Too many inside jokes were made, from Frog Squad to, HOLY **** BOATS HAVE LEARNED TO NAVIGATE ON LAND!! WE AS A COUNTRY ARE SCREWED!!!! All in all it was a lot of fun, but driving up there for two hours made me realize something. As we are passing all these houses, all these front yards and trailers and movie theaters and shopping centers.... They made me realize that there are so many people out there, with different stories to tell, and different backgrounds, that I will never ever interact with in my life.
There are people out there who will live just perfectly without even knowing my name (Well... they might know my name seeing how it's Jeff Gordon... but that's beside the point). It's weird when you live in the moment, and all you think about is high school, and the friends you grew up with, everything that you find important in your life and somethings not so important. Everything affects you in one way or another. But there are billions of people out there who are probably some of the nicest people in the world, yet I will never know them.
We live such a short life, and we impact so many people in the time we live, but the number of people we impact is a small decimal compared to the population that inhabits this world. I have always made it a life goal of mine to impact people in the best most positive way I can. Thinking that there are so many people out there that might need a positive touch really makes me want to do my best with everyone I know and soon will know. I hope to anyone who is reading this that I have made you laugh at some point, or maybe smile a little bit. And to anyone who looks on me in a negative way, I am terribly sorry, and it hurts me to know I may have hurt you in anyway. But life pushes forward and persevere through the hard times
