There is something about the word goodbye that makes it sound so final. Even if it is just temporary the sound of it makes it seem like you will never see the person or place your are saying bye to again. Farewell, adios, so long, and see you are much better options but it still feels like the end of something. I just don't like to say bye. Anyways, the point of this post is because I am heading off to boarding school after this current school year is complete. There are a lot of people and things that I will be leaving behind when I go but it isn't final. Well, to get to the point this post is about my feelings towards leaving to Virginia.

I think that going to a boarding school and getting away from everything and everyone here will be a good thing. So many things happen here is Park City and it is hard to escape the bad because it is almost as if we are living in a bubble. I'm not saying that Park City is a bad place because it isn't, I love it here, I just need a break. I know that being in Virginia will broaden my horizons and introduce me to new things, here I'm just not as sure. That right there is the main reason I am going.

Yes, of course I am scared to leave and be off on my own. It just makes it a little easier for me knowing that I can always come back here and feel a home. There are so many good people here and
strong friendships that I have here that let me know it will be okay. Even though I have my doubts and it will be hard I am going to go either way. Adding to that I wouldn't necessarily say that I am going to miss Park City in general but I will miss the little things and the people. Actually scratch that, I will definitely miss the people the most. I know for a fact that the hardest part of the whole boarding school thing is leaving my family and friends behind. Although I will be back in Park City all the time it will still suck. I am just super stoked that I know for sure I have so many good things to come back to.

This post is a little unorganized and hard to follow but I don;t know any other way to put it. In the end I am half excited and half not but I will be going either way and will need all of the support that I can get if I am going to make it. I know this post is a little personal and out of nowhere but I needed to get it out one way or another.

Fake vs Real

Your age, race, height or sex doesn't matter when it comes to talking about the meaning of true friends. Being able to tell the difference between real and fake friends is way harder than it seems because.. people can really suck. There is no other way to put it except, people suck and are difficult. Through all of the rough times of finding, loosing, and making new friends the ones that stay by your side are the ones that you want to keep and never let go of. Let's be real, without my good friends I probably wouldn't be where I am. 

If you're like me all of your friends aren't from the same group and you float around and have a diverse group of friends. From personal experience that is the best way to go because there is less drama and if you loose a friend you still have more. The worst is when you loose one friend and the whole squad goes too. If you are left chilling by yourself because the squad left you then have learned that they are not real friends. Most of the time, if a friend doesn't stay by your side when s*%@ goes down then are insecure and need to go. 

Now that I think you get the picture and understand the point that I am trying to get across I think I can give some examples of a real and fake friend situation. Here is an example of a fake friend. When you stayed out too late and you mom is mad at both of you and asks “Why are you late?!” and your friend throws you under the bus. Another example of a fake friend is when something bad happens in your life and you need help and they aren’t there for you. You know right then and there that are not worth your time. Fake friends can’t be themselves around you and make you feel awkward. 

Moving on to the friends that matter which are the real ones. Real friends are the ones who stay by your side and are always a phone call away when you need them. True friends will make you laugh so hard that you stomach hurts and you think a six pack is going to appear. These friends are the ones who make you genuinely happy and smile even when you don’t think it is possible. You know that they are fake if their missing one of these traits. 

Yes, some of what I said may not be completely accurate but knowing your real friends and the fake ones is pretty important. Telling the difference can sometimes be hard but if you figure out your real friends now it will be better for everyone in the long run.
