Yearbooks

~~~~ Think back to middle school. It's the end of the year and it's time to sign yearbooks. You have your best friends sign yours, then some kids you barely know, and once you've mustered up the courage, the girl of your dreams.

And at the end of the day, you sit down and read their scribbles. You'd read the "Have a Great Summer"s, and the "Can't Wait 'til Next Year"s, and of course the "Your Great, Don't Ever Change"s. But did you really take to heart what the messages said? Because more than likely, as time went by, you've changed. I know I did. People change for different reasons, some to fit in, others to get by in life a little easier, and some to try to get that girl of their dreams. But remember what your yearbooks said, "You're great, don't ever change!" Kids are often seen as ruthless little beings that aim to hurt each others feelings. However, it's funny that some of the wisest and most uplifting words can also come from children. This blog sort of went with the last one in the "uplifting, feel good kind of way", but I just feel it's important to know that you are special, loved, and a great person. So during your hard times, when you're feeling down and out, remember that you truly are great, retain your child-like innocence, and don't ever change.
