The Beginning of the End

Aug 13, 2004 23:03

I read Amanda's away message for the night: "Tomorrow is the beginning of the end... I need sleep for that...," and it finally made things hit home for me. Tomorrow I will be saying my first goodbye. I will not be be seeing Ashley for a very long time after seeing her practically every day for the past three years. She is one of my best friends, and I won't be seeing her probably until I visit her at her school in December. Sure I will talk to her...but it won't be the same ever again. After these thoughts ran through my head, I began thinking about all my friends...all the people who have made Xavier so memorable and more bearable for me. This will soon be the awful and scary truth in regards to each and every one of them. Things will never be quite the same between us all ever again.

In a way this feeling is beautiful. It makes everything seem worth while, because I know I wouldn't be feeling this unless it all meant something to me. So I keep remembering that, and keep remembering that December will come and I will see everyone again. This summer has been the best way I can possibly imagine to say goodbye.

"It's the end of the world as we know it..."
