Starting at 15 is when things become more clear, so I have a lot more to write about! haha.
So this was me at 15!
As you can see I loved me some anime, I still had (and still have lol) an interesting sense of style, but my hair was normal and that is all thatbmatters :D
So 15 was a huge, and i mean huge turning point in my teenage years!
- I made some really solid friends,
- I turned my life back over to the lord,
- Decided to follow the path that I am now on - studying Japanese seriously!
So in the summer of my 15th year I met Allyssa
Allyssa at AE! (bb why don't we have any pictures together from AE!? haha)
She was the reason I started even going to the mainland so much, just to go visit her. Not to mention that she also introduced me to NANA, and that became one of the things that brought us to be really close. NANA AND HACHI FOREVA ;D
We were there for eachother when both of us were having some issues with our friends and she was definitly one of the people that taught me a lot about being a good friend and having a friend who was always there to listen was awesome :) Love you Aya <3
So in this year, I was in grade 10, and I met someone whom I consider even now one of my best friends.
DANEISH IN 2006 :D hahaha
I think that a lot of people don't really understand, maybe not even dane, how much this dork ment to me in grade 10 (and sort of grade 11). If it wasn't for him I would probably not be alive.... or I would be a LOT different then I am now. I know that it sounds pretty mellow dramatic but it is true haha. I wont go into details but this dude and allyssa are the two people that really stick out in my mind when I think about my life at 15! And despite the fact that me and him don't talk often (cause he's a dude and dudes don't know how to talk to people. LOL kidding) I still hold him close to my heart. I KNOW THIS WAS CORNY AND SAPPY :D
This is also the year that I started hanging out with what I like to call the "Sointula group" heheh, who were some of my really good friends for the remainder of high school!
Shout out to my old crew ;D haha
I starting going to youth group seriously this year and got myself sorted out. Most people don't know this but I definitly didn't conciter myself a christian from about 11 to 15. I was embarassed about it, I thought it was just stories, and I doubted it like I have never doubted anything before haha. Thats why I hate it when people scoff or roll their eyes at me, it's not like I'm following God blindly without thinkin, trust me - I thought for a long time. Anyways when I was 15 that was when I started confidently telling people that I was indeed a christian.
Also this is the year I started studying Japanese and decided that I wanted to go to University to study it further. I hadn't quite decided that I wanted to live there yet, but I definitely became more serious about it. I have always , since I was little, had an interest in Japan, but this was the year that it became more then just an interest or a far off dream.
I should of mentioned yesterday that the years of 13-15 were also the years that I started getting into Japanese anime, manga, dramas, music. My world was opened up further then the limited things I knew about Japan. Anime wasn't what got me into Japan, I had always liked it, but it did open p the world of japanese music and TV to me! Also in these years my love for video games grew a lot as well!
15 was so huge there is so much that I could talk about, but I will leave it at this!
Okay, that is all for now! :D
