Preparation

Mar 31, 2006 13:52

So alot has happened lately. But I'm not really gonna worry about updating my journal. I'm kinda in a weird mood. I'm coming to a realization. After college, life begins to prepare you for bigger and better things.

When you're in highschool, it is all about the friends, and who's the coolest, what's in, and partying.

When you're in college, the first few years you're still in party mode, and making friends. But there are no more ranks in college, you're just friends with everyone.

Then your last years of college you really start strapping down (after your AA). This is where things get interesting. You've lost most of your friends in high school because they've gone to do other things, you stay in touch with only a couple (if that) friends, and you begin to make new friends who have the same interests as you. It's not about partying anymore, because 'God knows' you don't have the time to study for that final and go party.

Life prepares you to strap down and become an adult. I don't remember when it happened exactly. But I remember turning down a lot of friends who wanted to go out and party. Life is full of obstacles, and education is one of the main ones.

Your education is what will determine who you become. I never knew that. I mean, sure I heard it, but I never believed it. But now I'm realizing it. All my friends have their own lives.

Sure I'm still friends with them, but my life and my heart is suddenly growing detached from these friends. I will always love them don't get me wrong.

But I think my life has something bigger for me out there that will take me away from these great people. I'm sure I'll meet more great people, and never forget the times I've shared with the old. But I'm feeling detached and coming to realize that it might be for a reason.

Now it's not to say I'm trying to forget about you guys, or I'm going to stop calling. It's to say that my life is moving in a different direction, and my heart and soul is preparing for it.
