The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who appears to be living in some alternate universe.

Compared to how things were even a year ago, at least.

I maintain that people don't change. Not dramatically, anyway, and never quickly. But damn do things change.

Operating systems you know and love crash your laptop. But Ubuntu is pretty cool too.

People you love and want to spend every waking moment with become hurtful, toxic, and downright irritating. And you end up drifting more than you ever thought you would or wanted to.

The last female friend you thought you really liked flirts with your ex-boyfriend and blames you for the end of your friendship. I haven't talked to Cissa in a while. Except for that time I went to her brother's going away party and I got dirty looks from her all evening. Fun stuff, fun stuff.

The person you thought was insensitive and stubborn and infuriating becomes the kind, understanding best friend you can be 100% comfortable with and never want to live without. This summer with Sal was amazing. We aren't together. But it was fantastic, I'll leave it at that.

The happy, friendly, confident girl who promotes love and long-term relationships develops an obsession with her weight, becomes very guarded, and runs the other way from unfamiliar guys. Yeah that's still an issue :\. Again though; I'm so lucky to have a guy like Sal to talk with through all that. I'm getting by okay.

The person you thought could potentially be the one who changes everything, the one who's really different and interesting...leaves, doesn't return your calls, and doesn't even thank you for the cookies you sent for a dorm-warming present. Then he becomes vegan. *facepalm*


The life plan you've had for the past 4 years suddenly has a catalyst. Maybe I really do want to pursue baking and pastry for a career.

The region that's known for having literally nothing happen suddenly gets hit by an earthquake and hurricane in the same week. I mean really what the hell xD.

So yeah, just a reflection comparing last summer to this summer. It's eerily different. Anyway. Gonna go do more AP reading (thanks again to Irene for the extra day :D). Everyone stay safe during the storm!
