They say change is good. Everyone changes at some stage in their life and that's just how it goes, but is it always as great as people say?
As I stare outside my window at the night sky, a glimpse of the past apears. I think of the night it all happened, the night my walls tumbled down, the night I broke. Yes, I broke. I broke even though I was already broken and I didn't think it was possible to break even more, but I did. I shake the idee of that night out of my head and my eyes move from one star to another. Lately i've been looking at the stars a lot, it brings me some peace. Not specifically the stars, but the meaning behind them. We're all just floating around in space doing our own thing. Every 'star' is going through something that might be bad or good, you never know. I feel like nobody notices me and that i'm just another brick in the wall, but then i look at the sky and i see the stars. Although each star makes one individual light, it makes a beautiful view all together.
I guess it's a reminder of reality aswell. I'm not alone, even though I might feel like it sometimes. Everyday you pass people looking bright and happy but that might not be reality. Don't judge a book by its cover,right? I always find myself rolling my eyes when i hear that saying , i always thought it was cliché, but as I got older it began to mean something to me.
10 Hours left untill hell, a.k.a. highschool. Time to put up a fake smile and forget about my past. Time for a fresh start. My chance to be who I wanted people to think I was. No more "old Skyler Jones" from Canada.It's time to stand up for myself and change. Change into who I want to be, not what he
wanted me to be.
I close my window and remove my hoodie. My room is humid and i feel trapped in the air. I'm not used to the California heat. I climb into bed and throw my one leg over the duve.I start thinking about my new school, Middleton High, and all the people I might meet.Honestly, I don't want anyone to notice me. It needs to be different this time. I need to stay under the radar and try not to draw any attention to myself. My thoughts start to float around and my eyes feel heavy. I dose off as I think about my first day.
