Memories

I started this blog when I was a freshman in high school full of excitement, just looking for something to do. After about a year or so I slowly stopped posting until every other month when I'd feel the need to write something on my blog. Today when I decided to look through my blog I realized I haven't posted anything for nearly two years. 

As I started exploring all the post I had, I found a lot of memories with bad grammar and not so flattering pictures of myself and others from high school. (Sorry to those involved). Most of these memories were small and insignificant to others, but it was fun to go through and relive those moments, laughing and smiling to myself for an hour or so. 

Only a few days ago a forest fire broke out ten minutes from my house. People I know had only five minutes to gather what they could and leave because the fire was coming their way. It was frightening to know that I could get that knock at my door, and I would have to be forced to choose what was precious and what was not to me in only five minutes. If you know me well, that is almost asking the impossible! I mean really, what would you choose if you only had five minutes? Scrapbooks, pictures, journals, letters, books.... The list could got on and on! What is important to save and keep? After thinking this over my answer came to: Memories. Memories are probably the most important thing to me besides my family, which is why today while looking through my blog I'm thankful to my immature fifthteen year old self who started this way back in 2008. Even though almost all of the posts weren't exactly special to those reading, they were memories from my life and were important to me.

So I got an idea to restart my blog and begin writing my days and experiences out again. Yes, I did delete every single post I had except for the random video in the post below, but don't worry! I copied and pasted my memories onto a word document so I can have them forever. Now that I have a clean slate and all of you don't have to put up with my bad spelling and millions of exclamation points everywhere, I'm ready to start again.

So here I go writing out my life for all of you who are interested to listen. Don't take anything for granted, and thank God for everything you are blessed with, because you never when may loose them.
