I am going to my first real job today. And asked a certain person on a date. And contacted the people I cared about from my highschool class and realized something very tragic and BIG about my town.

And also - the two most popular party girls who everyone wanted to sleep with and there were rumours about are a couple.

A very cute one at that. That has lasted four 4-5 years. And we are growing up. We made it and we are the kind of people who say that WE made it. Because in a small town like this you grow up when you are 15. And we are still keeping in touch.

And the school that in 2010 was presented as a lost cause that no-one wanted to touch is like 2 in the county. Which is a huge deal because of how this miracle was preformed.

I am the fittest I've been in my life, I've got a ton of really close friends that I can joke with even though we haven't spoken in forever.

And I am very happy for my 12 year old self who wanted desperatly to stay friends with these people because I have.

And I might sound like my life is miserable on this website because in this little town I've got a reputation to uphold. I've got 12 year olds following me on twitter. And I have to be sorta positive for them and I love that. Because we were the last class who rememberd how the school USED to be. Because this school is the school for the whole town. Because this town has changed. Because we know we will do better.

And we haven't, at least not in any conforming ways. And that is amazing.
