With the cousins on New Year’s Eve.
Last pic taken in 2011; time for a new year and a new me.
North Fam. This is my family line within the North fam and even though I’ve just met them recently, I truly feel the love. We’re missing Christar who’s the same generation as me but everyone in the line is so awesome. I can’t wait for the fun times we’ll have and just bonding. And I couldn’t ask for a better ate, she’s the best. Proud to be part of this family. Love PAC!
Just got home from a movie night at my homie Michael Evien’s house. Had a movie/game night with Michael, Germaine, Bryan, Alex, and Maricris. It literally was one of the chillest and good vibe moments I’ve had all week. We got in my car to get some Wendy’s, got back and watched 10 Things I Hate About You (which was a good movie btw), then played some Taboo. After we just chilled on the couch, talked and watched tv. There were so many moments where it was just quiet but it wasn’t awkward whatsoever, and that’s what I loved. Being able to be around people and have a good time without having to speak is the best. I really just felt so comfortable with everyone. It truly felt like a family type atmosphere.
Having a weak of just holding things in, being sick, and trying to recollect myself, it was perfect just spending the night with some close homies and just enjoying each others company. I really needed it and can’t wait to have more of these. Time to get some rest and see what tomorrow has in store for me..
What am I thankful for? I’m truly thankful for the awesomest friends I could ever ask for. I’ve had ups and downs with all of them and what I love is that we could all grow from it and just get closer. Life would literally not be the same without any of them. I know I can depend on them whenever I need anything and I hope they all know that I would do the same for each one of you. I don’t say this enough but thank you. You guys mean so much to me and I love you guys. You’ve all helped shape the person I am today. I can honestly consider you guys family, which is saying something because you’ve guys have made the effort to show me you care and are more than just friends to me. Thanks to the wonderful year and the years to come.
This is a pic of me and my little brother Gabriel during homecoming week. Yeup, I’m a Senior and he’s a Freshmen. My parents really planned that out perfectly, huh? Lol, but I really don’t mind us going to high school together. It’s actually quite the contrary. I love going to school with him. I mean yeah, just like other siblings we do have our arguments and fights but we know we can depend on each other at the end of the day. People often ask me, “Don’t you get annoyed by your brother, especially having to go to school with him?” And I always answer this question the same. “Nope. I don’t get annoyed. I’m actually the loud, talkative one and he’s the more shy one. So if anything, I probably annoy him more than he ever will me”. As he grows older, we just continue to get closer and depend on each other more. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sorry I don’t say this often but,
I truly do love my close friends, and I know that I don’t tell you guys this enough but it should be recognized more often. I mean you guys have to deal with my rants, vents, my stubbornness, and all the other bullshit you aren’t obligated to handle. And after seeing all these things, you stayed by my side and showed me that you do care about our friendship. Yes, I know we fight every now and then and have our slips but who doesn’t? It’s normal, and we’ve managed to see through them, resolve these problematic situations and found ways to use them as stepping stones toward a better future. I’ll admit that I’m one of the most stubborn and self-kept people you’ll ever meet but you’ve managed to work your way to my core and not only discover the vulnerability I keep to myself but gain my trust at the same time. I constantly throw these obstacles and frustrations towards you guys but it’s not because I want to see you fail, it’s just my way of testing the strength of this friendship we share cause I do have this fear in the back of my mind that one day you may just leave and forget everything. I enjoy the times in which you guys find a way to make me laugh even if it wasn’t meant to be funny to begin with, being able to just have silences that aren’t awkward, or asking me what’s wrong and assuring that I’m alright even if I told you that I “didn’t want to talk about it”. Yeah I know that those aren’t big things but trust me, those small things are what keeps the friendship together. It’s come to the point where you guys aren’t just friends anymore, it’s more of a family matter and I’m gonna be in you guys’ lives for a pretty long time.
