Life In General..

[rebels]

Sometimes life just takes you by the legs and smacks you into the wall. All my friends in Ohio envy me because I go to school in the state where it's always in the 70s and 80s in the winter and all. But, you never realize everything you miss. I haven't seen my dad in so long.. and I miss my parents so much that it hurts just thinking about it sometimes. I just remember growing up and wishing my life away. I couldn't wait to be out of school and be a "grown up" so I could do things my way. I wish I could go back to sometimes and just live certain days over again and actually know how much of an enjoyment the younger days were.

Another thing.. I live in a good spring break city so theres always girls around here. Last night, I met these girls down at John's Pass and they invited me and some of my friends back to their hotel to get in the hot tub and go swimming. We took a lot of alcohol, I was wasted but still having a good time. I come to find out these girls were all sisters and from about 1 hour and a half away from my hometown in Ohio. One of the girls and I just connected like that. Not in a sexual way, but we were both attracted to eachother and theres just something there. I go to visit her tonight and its so hard knowing this person leaves in 5 hours to go back home. This makes me want to go home sooner just to actually spend time with someone that is nearly the same as you. She's coming to visit me in Ohio the third week of May so I'm happy about that.

Anyways, sometimes life just gets head over heels and really makes you think about some things. I don't know why I let this bother me because I know there's other people out there that have it so much rougher than me, and I couldn't handle some of the things in their shoes..

sounds like you're having a bit of freshman year blues. it's totally normal. i went through it too, many moons ago, lol. in all seriousness though, you'll always miss home. but as the year's go by and you establish your independence more and really grow into yourself, you'll find that you don't miss it as much and not in the same way. it's somewhat hard to explain, and rather than blab on and on about it, i'll just say that you'll "see" it one day.

And thats why they call him uncle_el lol. I was in the same boat sorta when i was in daytona and my friends were in tallahassee for college. It sucked that i could never find the time to see them and i missed them alot. Me and an old friend named Jodi decided we would call each other twice a week and i kept in contact with another friend named Julia for a long time through emails. I'd suggest u call your parents and old homies and talk to them for a little bit. But yea its all part of growing up...i remember the good ol' summers when the "lady di crew" (we live on lady di lane) and I would roam the streets and sit in driveways doing nothing all day long just to wake up and do it all over again the next day. Seemed so boring then but looking back on it, it happens to be one of the most peaceful times of my life

I know how ya feel. I went to the University of Dayton for two years, and when I was a freshman, I didn't know a damn soul. But I made the best of it and my sophomore year was a lot better. Being out on yer own and knowing no one sucked ballz, but I know now that I can make it on my own. There is always gonna be ups and downs for everything that happens. . .

I feel ya rebels,
being straight out of high school 2yrs ago and coming into the armed forces was one of the hardest things of my life,
and being away makes me realize all the petty fights with my parents/siblings were all soo stupid, but being away makes ya think and realize how much you do love and miss them and all the better when ya go homw to catch up on things, I go home yearly and look forward to it, but then when im there I miss being away too , just out on my own doin my own damn dizzle ...
The only thing you can do is keep in touch, and remember the good ol' days - like unc said it will straighten itself out and stuff will turn out A - ok.

- keep ya head up homie

Sometimes Coming Home After A While Is A Great Feeling, It's Easy To Get Depressed Though, You're Never Really Coming Back To The Same Place. I'd Say I'm Sorta In The Same Boat, I Never Spent More Than Two Years In Any Particular Place Until I Turned 17, We've All Left A Lot Of Friends Behind And There Are Always People You Wish You'd Appreciated More. You Just Have To Move On And Realize That You Can't Change Any Of It.

It's all cool. Just somtimes it hits me all at once and it doesn't make me feel real good. I'm keeping in good contact w/ the girl from my hometown so thats cool.

I just needed to vent a little bit and get my mind off things.. I've taken every reply into consideration since some of you are older than me and have experienced more than I have.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Gandy about 2 times a month.. Sonics when I am at Gandy.

John's Pass is a great place to pick up tourists because thats the only thing they really know about. They're not familiar with Ybor city or anything.

Where are you from??
