Last spring, when I was talking to someone who made me feel like the world, when my thyroid acted up more than usual but it turned out to be nothing but a need for a new prescription, when I took my first college courses and actually talked to people, when my grandmother was still around, when I went to my writing camp...
Her strength there just always resonated with me.
And I felt like I grew...and senior year just feels like one giant step back.
Well, people keep telling me things will get better in college.


Anyway, does anyone else have that one song/music video that doesn't just bring back a memory, but a whole point in time?

Ievan Polka. It reminds me of the time I spent at my old school, free of any drama and sadness or anything. It was a fad to sing it back then, and it was really fun (considering I knew all of the lyrics nearly by heart) It goes back about one or two years, where everything was fresh, fun and zesty. Nobody was ever really 'left out' and there wasn't anything weird or abnormal going on with any of the classmates.

Thinking back... well... </3 Times have changed...

@Metaphor
I do.
...the point in time it brings back for me isn't exactly a happy one, but it had a huge effect on who I am today.

diary of jane and so cold by breaking benjamin.

It reminds me of when I was 9. Yes, but when I was nine I enjoyed life so much and everything was so fun and dramtic at school. We thought there was a ghost and always ran away and hid in the woods. It was so fun. It reminds me of my old best friend, the first time i spent the night at her hosue and I could not sleep, diary of jane was the first bb song i hear. those songs also remind me of when there was still a hollywood video b/c the played that song a lot. it reminds me of when i was obsessed with the altador cup.... those songs just remind me of everything good.

There are a ton of songs out there that bring back memories. I can't really name them. But if anyone wants to know what sorts of songs, lemme tell a summary:

When I was younger, at school. Maybe I was in the third grade. That year is a highlight for me.

There was no drama, people were funny, school was easy, I had lots of free time. I felt like I belonged. My family was happier than now, I had tons of friends, everyone knew my name. I was always a sensitive person, but I wasn't as shy back then as I am now.

I even found the first person I liked in third grade; He was nice, and rumors were never spread, even though everybody knew.

My mom worked in another town, and she would have to take two trains and a bus to get to work, two trains and a bus to get home. My social life was pretty good, but jobs and houses were a problem. We lived in an apartment, my cousins lived upstairs. I got so scared of my aunt the summer after third grade that I never stepped outside of my house. My parents were arguing more and more, my mom kept coming home later and later.

Someone post so I can continue?

(This is Dreamer)

At the end of the summer, we moved to the town my mom works in. She still works here now, she's worked here for years. In a way, I was happy to move, because I could finally step outside without having the fear of someone screaming at me with a scratchy voice and messy hair, accusing me of whatever and calling me a liar. My aunt walked into our house one time and screamed at my mom and said I was a filthy liar. I was in tears, traumatized, sitting under the kitchen table while my parents argued with my aunt. It's a memory that haunts me, and it scarred me. That's what made me so shy and flipped my personality around. I don't like being called a liar, especially in that circumstance. I'm *not* a filthy liar. I thanked God that I could get away from that.

I was sad in a way, too. All of my friends outside of my house. I was being torn from them. I've never seen most of them since the third grade. I even pierced my ears that summer. I figured: "If you're changing my life around, why don't I change myself?"

We moved into a new house in this town on september 30, 2009, I think. I started fourth grade here in the very beginning of September. I was happy to be here, despite my lack of social connections.

(To be continued)

I'm 12 now. Started middle school in September. I'm getting older, my parents argue all the time, my dad is extremely over-protective of me. And everyone says it. I'm feeling like I fit in a bit more, but I still feel like an outsider in the same way. I like someone now too, but more rumors are spread here and there's more pressure on me.

Now, all my free time has been sucked away. I'm extremely shy, I can't say what's on my mind without worrying about the consequences. I don't have experiences that I can use to start an interesting conversation. More people judge me for my looks than they do my personality, because if they gave me a shot I could be great.

I miss my old life, but it scarred me, emotionally, too. I think of this town as a clean slate: Fresh, erased, started over, but it still has some permanent marks from the past.

I'm such a deep thinker. I let my emotions flow out onto a keyboard, or into a pencil, to write themselves out. Which is why I'm taking up so many posts to say this. But all in all; I'm a dreamer. And I'm trying to express my true self more and more every day. I know I will soon be succesful, I know I will soon be the person that people look up to. At least, I want to be.
