Sad, leaving-for-college entry...
Growing up is so very, very hard to do. Or maybe I'm just not ready to. Or...maybe I am, I just don't want to admit it because it means leaving behind a part of my life I don't want to let go of.
My dad and I made each other cry at dinner. It was so sad. I was teasing him as always and he said, jokingly, "At least I'll only have to put up with this a few more days." And my eyes welled up and my dad says, "No, Donna, you're going to make me cry." And he proceeded to tuck a napkin under his glasses to catch his tears. Which made it so much harder to hold back my own.
I feel so dumb. Everyone grows up and moves on eventually. I just feel like I had more to do here at home.
I've grown so close to some unexpected people this summer. I hate leaving friendships just as they're beginning. I hate leaving without closure to other relationships, and yet it's so hard for me to forgive them and myself for what happened in the next few days. I guess that one will just be lost for a while.
I'm so excited about college. But I know when I get there, no matter how much fun I have, I will be incredibly homesick.
11 days left.
