My little e-minions

I have not done this in forever, so much as gone on. It's nearly been a year. I figure I'll start you off with my perspective on life thus far.
People come, people go-they'll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally decide to close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you'll find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.
But you know, that may be true, but I'd rather forus on the new AND old. Everyone that has come into my life has made a difference. I wouldn't go back and change a thing. Everything and everyone that has happened to my life, has changed me, made my life better or worse. But its the learning experience they bring with them, lessons that I may not want to learn, but I do, and lessons that I love to learn.
So many people have come and gone into my life. And when they're gone, they find their way back, somehow. I may lose someone, but you know sometimes you have to lose someone completely before you can figure out what they really mean to you.
And well I've learned that life is full of waiting around for people. It could be small things, or big things. Like you have to wait around for people when they stand in the hall, or for someone to finish using the bathroom. Or something big like, waiting around for that one person to finally realize what they're doing, or waiting around for someone to come along and help you.
In my 17 years of living, I've learned so many lessons. Both good and bad. But when you learne a lesson that is bad, you seem to grow from it. It makes you stronger. It makes you realize things.
Things happen for a reason, you should realize that now. Everything that happens to you, will make you grow. I know I've learned that lesson over and over.
