Something people would always say about others in high school is that they’ve changed. Like no shit. Nobody is going to be the exact same person they were when they were thirteen if they are now eighteen. But why do people say, “you’ve changed”, like it’s a bad thing. Growth in personality is good. I guess I’ve been thinking about this lately because of how much I have changed. I’m a totally different me than I was when I first started high school. But at the same time, the core of me still remains. It’s strange and I don’t even know what I’m trying to explain here, but never be afraid to explore another part of yourself, in fear of judgement for change. Change always comes whether you want it or not.

Ranking Survivor Winners (Season 1-8)
Richard Hatch, Borneo – While Hatch often gets discredited for being part of the inaugural season with a bunch of people who didn’t know what it took to win, I believe this fact makes him even more deserving of the top spot on this list. His perception of others and self-awareness, along with the fact he knew forming a voting block would be necessary, makes him the best of the first eight, and would still be in the top five for overall winners.
Sandra Diaz-Twine, Pearl Islands – “Any one but me”. While this strategy can be linked back to Vecepia three seasons earlier, Sandra really made it her own, and it is how more players need to think. She always had the intentions of booting Rupert with Christa, but the rug was pulled out from under her when FairPlay did it before she could. At the final seven she sat outside the core alliance but somehow made it to the end, and got six out of seven jury votes.
Tina Wesson, Australian Outback – Due to the edit not wanting to show off much of their winner, we didn’t get to see nearly enough off her. All I need to say here is she convinced Colby Donaldson to basically give her the million. Do you need anymore convincing on how good she was?

What Comes After
Last month I had to endure a lot of questioning about my future. One would think that half way through the year, I would have a clue. I don’t. I know as much as Jon Snow, which is nothing. Okay nothing is an over statement. I know somethings. But something isn’t a good answer to the question of what I will be doing next year and beyond. Something can be good enough for me though. Why stress about the things that are out of your control. Just enjoy today. The thing that makes all the questions so hard, is that I know what I want to happen. I just don’t want to share it with you yet. Does anyone like surprises.
