So my girlfriend and I are in a bit of pickle at the moment.
Now hold on, I don't need some advice or anything like that. She'd just asked me how things are going to work out.
In a month (July 1) we're both leaving to attend Flight School. The problem is that we're in two different provinces and won't be able to see each other for the seven weeks the course runs. Now this last month or so has been crazy, we've had no time for each other and she's considering breaking the whole thing off, at least till the seven weeks are up. Now she's kinda asked me my thoughts on this whole thing so I replied with the following article of questionable length.
I just want a varied set of opinions on my reply (the writing itself or the nature of the piece or whatever). I know grammar and all that isn't perfect but it was something I threw together in 20 minutes.
Personally I figure I got my point across in a decent manner for something made up at midnight here. Well not made up, much of this stuff has been floating in my head for a while, but you see what I mean. Whatever, I'll let my writing speak for itself.
Wow. See that's the thing though I try not to avoid anything, I just try and take it in a different light is all. I figure people see life as one step after the other where they have to follow the same formula; go to school for 5 years so they can work, work for 15 years so they can go to Disneyland, Disneyland so they can say they're youthful, yet they aren't anymore, they're 20 years past being young. I'm just trying to live life young while I'm young. I'm not lazy, I'm not indesicive, I'm 18, I'm an easy rider.
I never considered us broken up. I'm not one to quit. Last year, when everybody figured I had Power but somewhere I screwed up, I didn't quit. I kept going, tried again the year after, tried just as hard, put in just as much effort if not more. Same thing with what we've got. So what if I fucked up somewhere down the line, I'm not going to give up. I'm not a quitter and I'm not going to quit on you because you don't deserve something like that. I don't want to just leave you hanging, I'm not shallow like that.
As for the good spirits thing? Well, I don't see the point on getting down. Life's just going to pass you by if something like that happens. I know cause it's happened to me. When I didn't get Power last year I felt like somebody had hit me in the stomach with a baseball bat. I was a wreck. I felt horrible, like the worst excuse for human being. I realized though that the world still goes on, the sun sets and the sun rises and that getting down on yourself is only going to keep you from seeing each sunset and sunrise. Man do I love sunrises and I don't plan on missing another, not for anything. See what I mean?
How does anything work though? It just does. Nature always finds a way. If a stream is blocked, the water builds up and flows around. The stream still goes on, a stupid little rock doesn't stop it. Why should the circumstances stop us? So what if we have less than a month before we're gone for 7 weeks, lets make that month worth it then. Lets make it the best month we could ever have together then. Sure we may not fix everything but that's the point in a sense. It gives up something to work together towards, even after the seven weeks.
I'm sorry a couldn't say all that to you, I'm just not the talking type really. You are, you've got that bubbly personality. People see you and this conversation just appears outta nowhere. You are it, the one, the only, the right now. See that's part of why I like you. You're somebody I'm not, you're the person I can watch and say,"Wow, now she's brave getting out there and speaking her mind, telling the whole world what she's about."
See [insert girlfriend name here]? This is the good it's doing, it's getting us to confront and fix and just see what we're both about. There's more good between us now then there ever was before, I can feel it. This is just a little bit of what I'm thinking though. I want to let you in on more, but well, and email just isn't the right kinda place for it.
If ever need me or anything, whatever the time, day or night, whenever just call. I'll be there on the other end for you.

PS - Sorry, most of those examples were of Power. If I could have fit one in about cars or snowboarding i would have.
