friends.

so i've learned something during my second year of college.

the friends you make in college are the ones that will be your friends for life. in college you learn who your true friends are and who aren't. im so glad for the friends that ive made this year and the ones that have been with me since the beginning.

dont get me wrong... i do think that the friendships we develop during high school will also be significant throughout our life. i continue to remain in contact with many of my high school pals. some of my closest friends today are still in high school.

without my friends, i dont know what id do.

ohhh swimmers :))

(i imagine there's more to add)

bestfriends && love

i used to think that life revolved around two desires: the desire to find that one person you can confide in with everything and the desire to find true love. that was then, this is now. i now dont know exactly what i believe.

i have found that bestfriends are, quite frankly, pointless. i can call somebody a best friend, but sooner or later they seem to fall short and hurt me beyond words. you may say im too critical, but personal experiences in the past 4 years have fostered my conclusion on bestfriends.

within the last 6 months i have seen what love is and what love is definitely not. it hurts me to say that i dont believe, at this point in my life, in true love. true love probably exists for me somewhere down the road, but my frustrations and confusions with this damn world have left me so mad that i cant stand the word.

boredom.

so. im bored. im alone.
what shall i do?

((a new blog full of intimate topics will come soon))

WHAT i WANT

two good friends of mine asked me today what i want in life. wow...what a question. since they asked me, i have been thinking all day, wondering what i want exactly in life.

i want my life to impact others. i want to be a grandfather that spoils my grandchildren. i want to be remembered as someone focusing on others. i want to be loved.

i know i dont want to die alone. i dont want to feel like my life was worthless. i dont want to end my life without loving friends/family around me.

the friends i have now mean the world to me. i pray they stay, building more memories.

my legacy.

every person has a legacy.

a legacy is how people remember you... it is simply the impact we instill on the individuals we encounter.

lately, i've been wondering what my legacy is. do people remember me because of my skills in the swimming pool? my yearbook achievements? outgoing personality? what is it about jarron james that people are remembering?

and then it dawned on me. my legacy is a legacy of selflessness. it's a legacy of friendships rooted in trust, dedication, and love. i desire those around me to remember me as one who desires the best in others. but i am worried my legacy i've worked on creating is slowly deteriorating before my eyes. those i once called my friends turned on me. those i once turned for support now give me the cold shoulder.

but the more i think about it, the more i realize the truth: those who really care for me are there for me no matter what. so here i am, ecstatic to know my legacy is thriving in only a few who i care about most in this materialistic world.

i am smiling. i am rejoicing. i have a legacy.
