Growing up is so strange. difficult, too. and sort of fun sometimes. but does it ever occur to anyone else that someday everything that seems so huge right now will matter very little or not at all? Isn't it a comfort? What we are now is not who we will be in 10 years. Hell, it seems like everything is going to change in six months. Slowly, everything that is happening now will become just a memory, a good or bad memory. Those memories will just be the lines we can trace between our former selves and new selves. But don't forget that those are two seperate selves, and that inevitably, we are growing up and changing as quickly as everything around us. This may be real life, but this is only real life right now. Everything will change. It's a little sad and a little comforting at the same time.
And so it is: my life's been pretty damn good lately, so graduating's going to be sort of sad - but I'm so psyched for college. The deck's going to be shuffled again, for the first time in 4 years.
