sarah ellen;
my life normally revolves around making everyone else happy, no matter how it affects me or if it hurts me in the end. But I just can't stand to see people unhappy or upset so I put them first. I clean, all the time. It calms me down somehow, I think mainly because it's something I can control, I know I can make a room spotless all by myself and I can keep it that way. I don't like change, I don't think outside the box. It all scares me, but i've made about a million changes to my whole life this year and I really do feel like a new person because of them. Some good and some bad, but either way they define who I am and i'm glad they happened. I believe everything happens for a reason, good or bad, love, heartbreak, deaths, accidents, meeting someone knew. There's a reason these encounters happen, sometimes it'll take weeks to figure out way but there is. My tumblr (like everyone else) is how I feel, and probably what the inside of my brain looks like. It's the place where i'm the most honest with myself.

I hope that all of you will end up here at some point with whatever corps and realize in that moment that the score doesnt matter, its the people in that block who you bled with sweat with and cried with all summer that matter.  Because those 7 or 9 people in the judging room do not matter, they’re opinions are worth nothing because they can never put a score on the friends you have made for life and the memories you have created with those people.
And then you realize that tomorow you all leave and you all will never ever march be all together ever again.  Its this realization that these 150 people will never be around each other all together again that makes you treasure each moment you had and all those petty arguments mean nothing after you know you will never see that person again.  the night after retreat is always filled with tears and hugs because you know that your family is breaking up forever,
But do not weep for them because like a phoenix, the corps will be reborn again in the winter and the cycle will repeat with new faces, new friends and the old one in our hearts.

I miss being on the field so much :’( summer 2013! Yay for having to take a season off -___-
