School is keeping me extra busy, as you might be able to see. When I was still not in high school I had so much more time than this. But, alas, here I am awaiting for yet another day of schooling.

I never thought that I could ever be this happy again. No, I'm serious. I'm SPAZZING OUT for tomorrow! Ever since Avatar ended, let me tell you, my life changed. Drastically. My summer started out with me leaving basically everything I had known for a whole new existence in a new place, a new life. My friends and I separated, and I left the school I attended for ten years! Can you believe that?

And then my grandpa (lolo) gets sick on a respirator. My mom and I had to leave China early to go to the Philippines to see him. He's blind. But, happily, he just barely survived.

Then, two weeks after we came back, Avatar ended. It was like I left my entire life behind in the dust, and when high school finally began and I became a nervous freshman, brand new twists and turns erupted from what seemed out of nowhere! I was scared, unsure, and most definitely shy. It was like I was in a trance for the most part, like I could infinitesmally believe my surroundings. I never thought something from my old life would return. For now, I'm a whole new person.

My life is coming back to me now. I'm back and trying to mend things back to the way they used to be because the change impacted me so hard. There are other deeply personal events occuring too that have me hanging on a string that I'd rather not post, but you know the jist of it.

My old life is returning, bit by bit and it's making me come out of the trance gradually. Avatar is coming back. I see my old friends at all these Confirmation meetings again, and my lolo survived. Nothing will ever be the same though, and I'm aware of that, but it's the things that mean the most to you that shape your life and when they suddenly disappear it's like you never existed. Sometimes change can be too overwheming, and just adding to the pressure with personal happenings only make you sink into a translucent dispair.
