sometimes when you love someone, its best to let them go.
but its so much easier said then done.
i love this song.
i can’t quite explain why, but i believe it has something to do with the sorrowful acceptance of what is.
today is my last day of high school.
its the end of a long journey, and its been quite the ride.
i’ve formed wonderful friendships that i will forever cherish, and i’ve gathered quite a few fond memories.
i’ve suffered through my fair share of pain, and i’ve had some growing up to do.
i would never trade anything that i’ve experienced during these four years, both good and bad, for anything. they have helped shaped who i am today, and i know myself better than i ever would.
i am sad that this chapter in my life is coming to a close, but i am excited for what the future holds for me.
thank you to everyone who made it so special.
i don’t think i’ve come across a song i didn’t like by gregory isakov.
excited to see him open for the lumineers.
time is a very funny thing.
time is never ceasing and it follows no voice or plea. time is the past and the present, but it is always moving toward the future. time can move quickly or it can crawl by slowly. time can add wrinkles to the face or a brightness to the eye.
but most of all, time gives the opportunity to reflect and observe the changes of the past.
i attended my middle school reunion tonight, and all i have been able to think about is time.what got me started on this train of thought was my 8th grade time capsule, which was a questionnaire of sorts regarding where we saw ourselves in the future. as i opened the envelope that had been sealed for four years, i couldn’t help but feel absolutely amazed. i remembered exactly where i was sitting when i filled out this sheet, and i remember that i couldn’t wait for the reunion to come in four years so i could open it again.
and here it was, four years later, finally returned to the hands that had filled it with memories, hopes, and aspirations. the time had finally come for it to be opened, its purpose finally being fulfilled.
as i read over some of my answers, i couldn’t help but smile. some things had stayed the exact same (favorite song: crash into me), while others had changed (i will major in: photography). some things had not come true (i will be dating: hopefully blake fox <3) and some things had evolved (the adventures i would most like to have between now and 2012 are: starting new relationships).
i think its a wonderful thing to look back at who you were then and who you thought you would become, and to then compare that person to the person you are today.
some things i’m proud of and others i’m not. some things i predicted and some things i never dreamed would occur.
yet regardless of what i thought i would accomplish, i must admit to myself that i think i did my fourteen year old self justice. i feel like i didn’t let her down.
