Growing Up
My cousin is graduating from high school this saturday. Its wierd because she's my little cousin, I babysat her when she was younger and now shes going to be going off to college. She's upset about leaving her friends and moving on. I know how that feels all too well.
I've thought about graduation and last summer alot lately. Maybe because its graduation time again, maybe because its summertime or just because it was the best time of my life. Last summer I lived for me, just me. I went out when I wanted, saw who I wanted and did things my way. I had some good times, like the drunken evening when my apartment turned into the after party, still don't know how I drank that much or 4th of July with the girls at Cheesecake Factory, or the wonderful guy that scared tabby, hit on one of my closest friends and made me cry. I learned a lot about myself last summer and about my desires and wants in this life.
To those graduating, your in for the ride of your life. I wish I could go back but you never can. Life moves forward and you can either be stuck in the past with your memories or move forward realizing they will always be with you.
I guess its my time to move on, time to let go of those memories and people and live in the here and now. I've wished for things for a long time and wishes dont come true. Where my future path will go I don't know but I'm just enjoying the here and now cause thats all I can do.
