two months left in high school.... scary, yet an ultimately exciting thought. i feel good about it though. i didnt think i would at this point last year. im all burnt out in most areas of life, and it looks as if the timing is just right for all of it to wrap up just the way id hoped for.
this is a passage ive long had as my profile on my instant messanger. i believe it applies to how beautiful things in my life have become, but how dull they can fade if i try to hold on for longer than fate had intended. its a sense of morality. i like that. it helps you to appriciate things while they last and make them that much more special.
"To me there's nothing more beautiful than fireworks in the night. There are blue and green fireballs, they rise up in the darkness, and at the height of their beauty they double back and they're gone.
When you watch them, you're happy but at the same time afraid, because in a moment it will all be over. The happiness and the fear go together, and it's much more beautiful than if it lasted longer. Don't you feel the same way?"
-Herman Hesse
