ventures of the fourth

So yeah, about that posting thing. I guess writing regularly is sort of unrealistic BUT, I will write when i have time. It always slips my mind that I even have a blog until everyone starts sharing YouTube videos. You know what I'm talking about - everyone trying to one up everyone else by showing off all the funny you tube videos they know. Or stumble videos. No one ever likes to see other peoples videos. Anywho...
Went home this weekend- to the WB that is. I dont think anything could possibly top fourth of July on Wrightsville Beach. If there were one weekend that i could go back home during the year, besides Christmas (maybe, its debatable) it would be the fourth of july. But, unfortunately I'm not updating on the events of the weekend, even though it was super fun.
A thought did strike me when i was at home- harder than usual. I'm spending the summer in DC, a place where everyone is on top of everything and every day life is significantly faster paced than with what I am familiar. Everyone is up to date on current events and conversations you have with people are just generally more sophisticated than those had back home. Maybe its the people I hang out with, but it just sort of seems like nothing ever changes in Wrightsville Beach. Places are the same. People are the same. Things are the same. The same people go to the same places and do the same things. Plus...aside from presidential elections and other major events, i feel like people are clueless as to what actually goes on outside of the bubble of Wilmington, NC. Its sort of funny how I can be in a place where in a matter of days there was a shootout and a major metro debacle and no one I know from home even knew that either one of the two had happened. I received no calls from home. Its like a black hole. People are just a little less interested in things back at home and sometimes its refreshing, but other times its just like....really?

"A reason, a season, or a lifetime"

So i haven't written in a while, I know. I've been meaning to and its not like I dont think about it either, its just when I have time to actually do this, I would always just rather be doing something else. Its sad because the thing is, as I write I remember how soothing it can be- almost therapeutic.


Its weird looking back at my last post. I remember exactly where I was, and how exciting my life seemed to be. The people in my life were new, and as I was getting to know them it was like I was slowly getting know myself a little better. I never wrote on my page after that night at the concert, but my experience in Denmark from that night forward was life changing. I met people who I hopefully will keep in touch with for a long time, and I made memories that will be with me forever.
Its amazing how fast everything changes though. When I wrote that last post, it was like everything around me was falling into place. I finally had a grasp on things. What I didn't realize however, was how short lived it would be. I returned to the United States with my life in order, or so i thought, but I was soon to find out otherwise. Things I thought had disappeared, seeped back into my life, while more 'issues' seem to be piling up as even i speak now. The difference between before Denmark and after, isn't the people I met or I things I did. Its what I learned about myself, however cliche that might sound.
I have a habit of depending on people. My friend recently explained the nature of relationships in a more simplistic way than I had ever seen them. She told me that 'People are in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.' And, even though it may be dangerous, to recognize the nature of relationship, gives you a different perspective on how and with whom you should spend your time. I have finally come to terms with the categories the people in my life are in, or so I think.
So finally figuring that stuff out has been tough. But, I think I have done it. Its hard becoming independent after being dependent for so long, but it can be done, and I don't think it should ever be undone. Only when it becomes undone, does any relationship become a burden.
So yeah, that's a struggle that I think I have finally tackled, and its been hard, but for the future now i know. I've never really let people drift out of my life, but since being away, and meeting people that live far away, I've had to learn. 'A reason, a season or forever."
I'm going to start writing more regularly too. I just don't want to be like THAT girl...who has a blog. Is that weird? Is this weird?

REM in Kobenhavn

So Im in Copenhagen (Kobenhavn) and this weekend has probably been my favorite weekend ever. Let me just say listen to the last 3 minutes of this REM song (which i saw live at their concert last night) (this is a video from that concert). Its so good.

its called 'country feedback'

this is another good one. He told us that this song, "Imitation of Life" is number one on Japan's hit list right now.
