I'll have you know that I'm doing just fine.

Well, this school year isn't really turning out to all I hoped it would be, but I guess it's only September, right?  It's probably my own fault anyway.   I haven't really made any new friends yet, which was very high on my priority list (I even have a 'people to befriend' list and you can bet none of them have been checked off).

These guys look like pretty good friends.


For the first time in around 3 years I have a little crush on a girl and have yet to do anything about it.  I've never even talked to her and I'm 70% positive she would have no idea who I was if you mentioned my name.  It's pretty pathetic and wimpy, but it's unfamiliar territory to me and I don't plan on making any action until I've gotten my bearings.  I kind of feel like I'm in elementary school again.  You probably think I sound like it, but that's okay.  I think I do, too.

So basically this year I've just been a big let-down to myself.  I've hindered my own dreams and killed my own excitement just because I'm so gosh darn scared and lazy.

These won't be mistakes.  I promise.



This is my first real post for quite a while and it was nice to get back into it.

Hello, again.


Enjoy the Ride,

Ben

You don't know me. (Probably.) And I don't know you. (Probably.) But I would suggest you talk to that girl you have a little crush on. What's the worst that could happen? Take a risk. It'll be worth it, I bet.

Thanks for the advice, anonymous commenter. :) I'm proud to say that I'm actually working on it. Probably a little slower than I would like to, but I think I'm making a little progress. I'm just a little apprehensive because I really don't want to mess it up, because I could see it turning into a really nice friendship. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Thanks again,
Ben

P.S. I admit, I could do a little better. And I think I will.

I used little to describe four things in ^that comment^. Whoops.
