Impressionable.

I know many people out in the world out there are very impressionable. I know I am one of those people. I think I can speak for most people when I say that the people you hang around with can influence who you are as a person. Its a given fact. I know I wasn't always hanging around the greatest people, and I have spent some time with people who have had really bad influences on me, causing my friends to see me differently.

I had my reasons, stupid ones, but I had them. I was going through  a lot in my personal life. I had loads of things just piling up on me, and I was going through a really difficult time. I was trying to mend my past. I was at a point in my life where I really didn't care anymore. It was a difficult time, and I met some people who didn't exactly have a good influence on me, one person in particular, who is now known as "Jerk Face" by my best friend and I. He was trouble from the beginning but I ignored it. I looked passed it and just stuck around. I did some things I am not exactly proud of at all, and it caused people to have a whole new outlook on me, and just another thing to judge me on. I was staying out later, staying over when I shouldn't have... I was drinking with them... and more things. Now that I look back, its just all stupid.

I regret it, I wish I had just walked away. But at the same time I know it has taught me a valuable lesson, and no matter how much I wish I could go back and change what was done, I know I wouldn't be where I am today, and who I am today if I didn't go through it. I know we learn from our mistakes, and we get to where we want to be by making these mistakes because we learn who we don't want to become.

Everyone in their lifetime is going to come across people who influence them to be complete different, or to do bad things. We may go along with these people, or choose not to. A lot of the time people choose to, and they dont see that they are a bad influence, but they stick around because they don't realize that these people are changing them.

I really lost my point in this post, I had it, but I am very distracted. so I hope this post makes sense. I keep leaving and coming back to this post.

basically my point is in life the people you choose to hang around are the people who will influence you the most, they will shape you, and create who you are as a person, whether it be good or bad. It is up to you to recognize who is good and who is best to just leave behind.

For me, I have not always hung around the greatest people in the world, But I have learned many lessons and I know where I want to be, and where I am going. I have got a good head on my shoulders now, and I choose my friends wisely. I know who I want to associate with, and who I would rather not be around.
