Journal #1: My Life Story

     If I could tell my life story to one person, I would probably choose... Robert Downey Jr., because he is my fiancé. We are deeply in love. Honestly though, I wouldn't even tell Robert everything. My best friend is the one I would confide in- the one I have already told my life story to. She knows everything about me and every though that crosses my mind. I feel no need to hide anything from her, or to in any way be someone that I am not. She cares enough about me to listen to my experiences and problems, and to share with me hers. We have reached the point at which we can be completely and totally honest with one another, and have established enough of a rapport that neither of us has to worry about the other betraying the trust we have placed in one another.
     
     I truly believe that my freshman year of high school is basically where my life actually began. Prior to my experiences at Tigard High, I hadn't truly grasped the concept of there being something bigger than myself. It's true, I was a very egocentric middle-schooler, but weren't we all?  My life truly changed that year because it was the first time since my early childhood that I actually took a chance, and decided to branch out and try different things- some of which were alien and uncomfortable to me. That year, I became a performer. I realized that I belong in front of people, and am relatively good at demanding their attention (I'll let you judge whether that is good or bad). It was then that I discovered what I want to do with my life, and how I want to go about achieving that dream. Now, I didn't realize until my sophomore year that Robert and I are soul mates, but with time comes wisdom, right?
