The best years of your life, aren't...(April 30, 2010)
May 28, 2010
My brother and his girlfriend just left to go to a school dance. He looked very sharp, and she looked absolutely beautiful. It's also prom week here, so that's what everyone has been talking about. The past few weeks have been filled with preparation for all of these dances, and the whole thing has really made me think about all of the things I missed out on growing up because of my weight. I never went to a school dance, not even my senior prom. I was never asked to go, and I really didn't want to go by myself just to sit there by myself the whole night. I didn't go to a lot of school functions. I hardly ever went to ballgames. I was pretty much a loner.I missed out on so many things that other teens get to experience. I want to know what it's like to wear a beautiful dress, get my hair done, get my pictures made, and go to prom with someone that really cares about me. But it's too late for that now. People say that your time in high school is supposed to be the best years of your life. That may be true for others, but not for me. I know there's a lot that I didn't get to experience because of my weight, but I hope there's a lot I can experience in the future after my surgery. Sorry this is kind of a negative post. Hopefully, I'll be having some better days soon.
