I decided to myself one day I'd make a brief recap of all that has happened to me my first semester in college.
Let's see....
get tipsy: check
get ridiculously drunk, so hammered one is unable to walk properly: check
learn the values of alcohol control: check
reveal hideous ass to a dozen swine: check
kiss a stranger: check
do something kind of kinky: check
find a purpose in life: check
abandon all that the parental units have preached: CHECK!
come to terms with crazy-ish ex: check
find self: A work in progress
expand the mind: check
try a new culinary dish: check
make a new friend with a completely different background: check
lose virginity: check
smoke weed: check
feel accomplished: check
fall in love: check...........
My list is a little overwhelming, it's true. When I look back at the stupid, naive child I was when I graduated high school to where I am now, I feel awestruck. So much has changed. But yet, it is not me personally who has changed. Yes, the circumstances surrounding me and my judgement have been altered in the last few months, but I have remained the same person.
I guess what I'm trying to say can be simply put. The person I truly am has been hiding inside of me for quite a while. Please don't overlook this overly cliche statement. The real V, my true identity has been imprisoned for all of these years by a few strict judges (I'd like to thank my overprotective mother, father, school system, and church. You're all beautiful)
My eyes had been taped shut to all that really goes on. Ignorance is bliss, I think not. As my favorite people from school house rock would put it, learning is knowledge and knowledge is POWER!
With that thought, I'm going to go listen to The Cure.
