Am I thinking too much? Probably
...I go back to Dartmouth on Tuesday, and though I’ll miss mom and dad and the house and not having stress, it’ll definitely be nice to go back and get away from what I can only characterize as disappointment here – disappointment that things haven’t changed, and disappointment brought on by my own misguided or too idealistic expectations. I think maybe what happens when we go to college is that we don’t really change… we’re just finally allowed to be exactly who we are, and so when we come back home, we see we were wrong about everyone else. And everyone was wrong about us.

.... i think there are plenty of people out there who care. We might have the opportunity to join them... In the Peace Corps perhaps?
you are a good kid. you deserve everything that has been provided for you. Make it your mission to share your wealth and give back. dont feel guilty...just give back
it's weird that you should write that because, i felt the same way..but then i was thinking about school and wondered if i really fit in there either. With continueds thought, i realized that some people care without words or without actions, it's just that silent comfort of knowing where that person is and how they are doing. Sometimes, words aren't worth using because they never, in actuality, provide comfort or exude the depths of our emotions...
i'm not so sure what or who has changed, if it's this town, the people, or you or i? but, something has changed. nonetheless, the whole time we were growing up, we knew this was forthcoming. perhaps, if you're like me, you're so so much concerned about the changing, yet forging ahead. I was never one for saying goodbye, and i hate letting go. this break was especially hard seeing everyone that no longer needs to see you every spare, waking moment and has other friends and places to be. yet, the ones that you grew up with, or forged some kind of life-long bond, will forever be there. sometimes we get too busy with certain things and forget the things that are really important. im guilty of that, i really am. But, know, JJ, no matter what, I'm here for you... and you'll forever be my VILLE buddy! Take care, ok? and dont worry too much about everything. In the end, everything's ok..if it's not ok, then it's not the end!
