There is no fate, just growth

Today's title comes from a conversation I had with a friend a little bit ago, about the concept of things not being meant to be, rather we grow into them. Well, I don't know if it'll ever end up in a book, but it was pretty darned good, so I made it my entry title. If you're reading, this one's for you.

After a tough week or so, I'm starting to battle back to normalcy, or at least whatever it is that I consider normal. I think I will be mostly back to form once the culture trip rolls around. Which is good, since I'm really looking forward to it.

People I can trust will be there, people I can talk to and have fun with. Because there are people who actually like me here. They want me to be around and talk to me and do stuff with me. Compare it to middle school where everyone hated me and high school where people were somewhat more civil but mostly ignored me...

Yeah. It's... kinda weird. I'm still not entirely used to it yet, and I've started to fall back on the old habit of putting myself down...

The thought of being treated as an equal and genuinely thought of as one boggles my mind. I don't entirely know what to do...

I'm glad I'm here though. Perhaps, in time, I will be able to grow into someone I can genuinely like too.

Also, been playing Pearl some, making slow progress. I have most of my team sans Abomasnow, with all fully evolved except for Napoleon (my Prinplup). I'm surprised how fast my Chansey evolved... also, my Chatot owned Maylene's first two Pokemon in my gym battle with her (it went down to Spiritomb to finish Lucario). Take that, tier status!
