Truth betold..

The countdown is at 12 days and I need to lay this out because I'm a horrible person for it..

I'm layin' this out for everyone because over the course of time I have no idea what your opinion of me is and if it's changed but I'd like to say I'm sorry for being the way I have been.

I thought going to college was going to be the best thing ever and that getting out of Murfreesboro was awesome when I'm wrong..to a certain degree. By that I mean that going off to college is the best thing ever IF you don't gloat about it and that getting out of Murfreesboro is awesome because it's a chance to change a bit of scenery not getting away form everyone.

I've been an all out jerk because I thought since I was going to UT I was better than everyone else. I thought MTSU was settling because it wasn't good enough and I thought that it was cool that I was going away to college and I was something special for that. NO college, especially MTSU, is second rate. I parted ways from the majority by going to UT and automatically assumed I was going to be the cool guy who leaves and lives this great life somewhere else and comes home to people regretting staying at home.

I put myself so far out in front of everyone else that I turned into something that I regret so much. I'm tired of trying to be right all the time and, knowing I'm wrong, making a big scene just to try and convince my way upon everyone else and make it seem like I won. I've been wrong so many times but would never admit it because I didn't want people to think less of me when that's exactly what happened.

All I can say is that I’m sorry for how I’ve been and I hope that all of you can forgive me for how I’ve been and I promise to change how I am..back to the way things used to be when the phrase “I have a red lawn mower” brought laughs to more people than it does now, heh..

So basically it’s over..childhood and all. Weird, isn’t it? I wish the best to everyone no matter if you’re still in high school, you’re in college here, in Knoxville, or somewhere on the other side of the country.

I’m sorry I wasn’t who I should have been. I am who I used to be again, though. :-)

..adios..

We all have those moments... I think most everyone goes through a time when they imagine that going away is better than staying, but sometimes God has other plans... and we have to find other ways to spread our wings and find independence... even in our own town. Anyhow, I hope you like your change of scenary, but if you ever decide to come back, I promise we won't think any less of you.

well, you'll be alright, but you should throw yourself a going away party to prep yourself for all the parties at UT, and make sure i'm invited, i think your mom might have forgotten what i look like...
