With a New Look Comes A New Outlook

"Searching has its roots in the earth"

Hello All!

Well as you can see I changed my template and with the change in my template comes a change of attitude within this diary. Because this really portrays how I've been feeling recently. My self-imposed solitude from you guys has been killing me.

I miss hanging out with you guys. I know I've had opportunities but it's different now. I guess it's the fact that I've always had "summer friends". They are remnants of my past friends, before you, and friends that I've had, but we've been too busy to see each other outside of school. But I want more than anything to be able to hang out with both groups at once.

I've spent a lot of time thinking over this past year and I see that I'm not the same person I was last year, or earlier this year. I don't know how to explain it. I think Laura did it best, which always surprises me. I am that girl behind the book, and I guess I'm just waiting for someone to pull me out from behind it again, just like she did junior year, how Katey V did it sophomore year. But I don't know who it's going to be, maybe a future classmate, maybe you guys but I think that's what scares me most of all. Maybe no one will pull me from my book and I'll forever be stuck there, too afraid to come out and see the world as a good place. Thanks a bunch for everything you guys have done.

'You're a fool!

Think again!

Is this home?

Is this where I should learn to be happy?

Never dreamed

That a home could be dark and cold

I was told

Ev'ry day in my childhood:

Even when you grow old

Home should be where the heart is

Never where words so true!

My heart's far, far away

Home is too

Is this home

Is this what I must learn to believe in

Try to find

Something good in this tragic place

Just in case

I should stay here forever

Held in this empty place

Oh, that won't be easy

I know the reason why

My heart's far, far away

Home's alike

What I'd give to return

To the life that I knew lately

But I know now I can't

All my problems going by

Is this home?

Am I here for a day or forever?

Shut away

From the world until who knows when

Oh, but then

As my life has been altered once

It can change again

Build higher walls around me

Change ev'ry lock and key

Nothing lasts, nothing holds

All of me

My heart's far, far away

Home and free!'
