A good friend of mine talking fondly about all of his crazy, amazing high school memories just made me realize that. I'm incredibly jealous of his life, the people he's met and the experiences he's had. We're both aspiring filmmakers, but obviously he has infinitely better material for movies. I'm so shy that I've hardly had much of a social life, ever, and he's had whole groups of friends that have done crazy stuff.
I guess now that high school's over and it was never much to remember at all, I should start being more outgoing, break out of my shell and try to make an interesting life for myself to make up for it.
Wow... just the phrase "break out of your shell" used to enrage me being logic or description, but now I'm a lot more comfortable with it. People used to talk to me about breaking out of shells all the time, and I hated how they condescended by saying that and how they expected me to change according to their expectations like some cheesy princess Disney movie, where I magically roll over and change at the end. Ughhh....
But now I've practically accepted it.
So I guess my point is, anyone got some tips for making the most of my post-high school life (besides my career goals, which i already have planned out)? I've got literally no money, but tonight I just applied for a part-time job, so hopefully that will pan out. By the way, this friend of mine is also online, I can only talk to him on webcam, so technically I have no real friends. How can I remedy that? Anyone else going through the same crap?
