Today was great! I graduated Lake Brantley at 10:00am, which I wasn't originally excited about but when I got there I felt like a part of the senior class of '04 and I was a little sad. The speeches were great, especially the tribute to parents speech..her ending statement was, "Their value is immeasurable." (in regards to family) and it gave me chills. It's so true, I've learned that a lot of things in life that are forced are the fun parts. For example, when teachers put you into groups for school projects, sometimes you end up meeting people in class that are really cool but you wouldn't normally have met them. I think it's great that from the moment you are born, enough people to shake a stick at love you. You don't even know them and you guys may never get really close, but they sign all your birthday cards Love, and just love you all there lives. Life is so huge...it's so hard to navigate through. How do you know who is the best for you? Sometimes I think that I'll never even read my favorite book or taste my favorite food because the world is just too vast and I'll never get to experience the things that fit me best, but that is okay. On a personal note, I love this newfound freedom I have not being attatched because I feel like its just me and I can experience life without bias and Im forced to face things by myself. Being single and not getting to be with Blaine sucks though. We are bestfriends and share something that is special, maybe too special to experience at this stage in my life...both of our lives. We just want the chance to grow and see what life is all about. It physically hurts my heart though to be away from a spirit I know is so close to mine. Will have my sis post some pictures (you'll be able to see them this time) of prom, banquet, graduation, Nationals, misc.
