Letting go, to see if it comes back.

The subject of "Letting go" has been a major part of my life the last 2 years, because of graduating high school, missions, different colleges and walks of life. In this entry I'm going to try my best to talk about not taking people and things in our life for granted. The thing i've noticed most, is the friendships in my life. Maybe It took that particular person to tell me they are leaving for a long time to make me realize how much they mean to me and how I really need them in my life. Well I decided i'm going to try not to have this problem anymore by telling my friends and family how much they mean to me. I am awful at expressing myself, especially deep feelings. But I really do care for a lot of people I just might not show it as much as I should. So I am going to go out of my comfort zone and reach out to people by  letting them know the influence that they have had on my life.
   Odds are if you are reading this, then we have had some memorable times together, and I thank you. I  am very forgetful and don't try to ignore people, I just get so caught up in what ever I am doing at that particular moment. But If I do remember a  memory of us, I will probably remind you of that instance.
     I've met some pretty amazing people in my 20 years on this planet and am bound to meet a lot more. I just inspire to be someone that people can look up to and be like "I wish to someday be like that Austin Critter, he is fun, loving and overall just a great person!" Until then Im just trying to survive college and hopefully be able to make something of myself in the crazy thing we call life and make my parents proud of me.

     Just to review things for myself, I just need to:
1. Realize my blessings and make the most out of them.
2. Let the influences in my life know that I really appreciate the things they have done for me.
3. Try to be a role model and be that person that helps change others lives for the better.
4. Tell the people I care about how much I enjoy them, and my feelings for them, instead of holding them in and tearing my self apart.
5. Take Risks, because you never know what will happen.
