I have a habit, which some times isn't that great, where I periodically look back through old messages. This includes Facebook messages, Texts, E-mails, Notes, Yearbook signage, or any other medium through which my past has been documented.
I say sometimes it isn't that great, because often times I find myself in the dark bit of my past. When I do that it's a really quick spiral into past William being completely stupid and making choices that should never have been made by any sane human being.
To be fair (Which has become my favorite phrase ever), I wasn't all bad. I know that now, but for some reason one bad note exchange is connected to a bad e-mail exchange, and I can't seem to find anything redeemable about me.
One of the reasons I like doing this though, is because when I find myself caught in the spiral of good things, they are phenomenal.
The other day I was looking through pictures from CSSI, which is the event that sparked this entire blog.
Today, I pulled out my senior year book.
Both were phenomenal experiences for me. Both had a similar theme to them.
People.
Er...
Friends.
People who have encouraged and motivated me to do things that I couldn't do on my own.
If there's any problem I have most, it's not believing in myself. It's this strange thing where I feel like everything I do is wrong. I say the wrong things in conversations, I am terrible at coding, I can't write to save my life, and so much more.
Then I look at these people in my life, and they give me faith in me.
So, not a long post, but thank you to every single person who has crossed my path, whether it was once a long time ago, or you cross by on a regular basis.
I am who I am today because you have helped shape me, and I am really proud of that. I hope that I can keep improving, and make you proud to say you know me!
And I've officially figured out my New Year's resolution, to be more appreciative of the people in my life.
Here's to many more years of reminiscing! =D
