Not much has happened since my last post. I can't say life has been completely empty, but boring, definitely. Every weekday, we go to the lunch bus at 11:45 am. We leave around 12:10-12:20 am, and then either swim in my cousin's pool or go home, depending on the weather. On the weekends, it's usually quiet. On Saturday my cousins sleep over, and then Sunday is just a lazy day. We complete this incessant cycle over and over again.
Something special did happen this past weekend, however. I met a good friend. Her name was Kirsten, and she was amazing. Kind, funny, energetic...we stayed up all night together watching movies, playing video games, and talking about everything. It was like we had known each other forever, and I realized just how much I had missed that feeling. The next day, after waking up at 2:45 pm, I spent the night with her. We handmade three big pizzas; one shaped like Italy, one shaped like Japan, and one shaped like the Earth. I had a great time. When we were ready for bed, we both slept on the couches in the living room, aka the most comfortable couches I had ever felt in my life. It was better than my own bed. Of course, Kirsten was just visiting and had to return home. I miss her, but she said the next time she visited we'd spend more time together. I look forward to that.
For the 4th of July, we're going up to the high school to watch the fireworks with the family. My friend Faith will also be attending, so I'll get to see her, too. I hope I'll get to greet some of my other friends as well. From what I've heard, it'll be quite the event. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Life is kind of like a never-ceasing swing. From highs to lows, it'll never stop, so it's best to just keep swinging along with it. That's what I've learned from my experience so far. Maybe if I just keep swinging, I can keep getting higher. All I want is to live freely and die with a smile on my lips. Is that too much to ask?
