Trust Me..

Lately, people have been very, very untrusting toward me.
One for a mistake I made two years ago,
and one that is solely based on doubt.
It's kinda hurtful, to be honest.
Especially the second one.
Just because you assume things, it doesn't mean you're always right.
Because of these two things,
I will be spending my summer before my senior year of high school at. my. grandma's. Yes, I said that. Not at home, like any other normal teenager; at my grandma's. Yeah, save me.
Another result?
I can't talk to one of my best friends because her mom doesn't trust us when we say something didn't happen. it. didn't.
I don't understand people.
It makes me so mad..
and upset.
I was so happy when my friend moved here, and now I can't talk to her.
:(

Anyone have any advice for me?
Anything at all...

p.s. Today is officially my last day of being a junior. ): Sadface. But happy about summer... But sad again, because this also means I may not be posting near as much... ): I'm sorry; I'll try to post as much as I can!! <3


Love you all!

Summer means hanging out with friends.

Summer means shorts everyday.
Summer means getting away from life in general.
Summer means amazing pictures.
Summer means checking off a ton of bucket list items.
Summer means going swimming.
Summer means going to the zoo.
Summer means being crazy.
Summer means sleeping all the time.
Summer means more fun, less responsibility.
Summer means Big Ticket Festival.
Summer means being a teenager.
Summer means late nights with the music up.
Summer means my heaven.

I can't wait.

What does summer mean to you??
Love you all!

GO!

I'm sitting in school and I'm seeing how empty it is.
Our seniors are gone.
I'm seeing how few cars are in the parking lot now that they're gone.
I'm seeing how different our school is. Everyone seems so much less mature.
That's going to be me next year.
I'm going to look at the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors next year, and just say "Wow. I see what they mean. You do miss that."
I'm going to see how much younger the freshmen look as they get smaller and smaller every year.
We're the oldest in the school from yesterday until next year.
I'm seeing how fast we're growing up.
It's crazy.
And scary.
I really don't know how to feel about this.
Seeing how all of the seniors affecting everyone here is crazy.
Especially since I only talked to about... two of them.
And I still miss them (even if one of those two lives about a block from me...shhh).
It's weird.

STOP!
