Yesterday I met up with a new friend. I met him about a month ago, right before I graduated. He is graduating from highschool today, but yesterday he was really… nervous. Im uncertain on how to describe it.

I recall being nervous the day before, because it was really hard for me to grasp the concept that I was going to lose the structured life that I had been living for the past twelve years.

That night, we talked on the phone for about two hours, and I listened and shared my own woes with him. Its kind of hard for me to share, and I could tell it was for him. He was nervous that I would stop talking to him because of the things he did in his past.

I told him that I was trying my hardest to keep an open mind and to learn more about other people. I honestly want to reach out to more people.
