memories...

So I found this thing that I wrote in a random notebook back in April, just after Grad Bash. It's funny how I couldn't recall these simple facts until I read it again...

...And there I was, under a starless sky filled with the foggy reflections of city lights and the sounds of senioritus. We were dancing. I couldn't help but feel somewhat out of place; but I enojoyed myself. Though I'd never say it to her face, Sarah means a lot to me...and if I've ever fallen in love, it is with her. I held her hips as she swayed to the beat that I could barely comprehend and looked at the sky above. Empty, blank, dark. But in that moment, it was beautiful.
There are moments in life that transcend all reasoning. You don't see or feel any of your faults. Or fears. My life was changing indefinitly. I broke a promise to a friend. Chances are that after this month, I would never see Sarah or any of these amazing people again. My feet were hurting from walking all day. I was unsure about the future and indecisive on what to do next.
But in that moment, it didn't mean anything. I was intoxicated on the mere knowledge that I was alive and the only thing to stop me from flying away was the simple fact that I was born without wings. To say that life is a roller coaster is an understatement. They say that after highschool, it's all downhill. Well, frankly, the best part of a roller coaster is not when you're taken up, it's when you swing down and recover at the very last moment only to have your world turned upside down; and when you lose sight of where you're going and just focus on the ride...you are truly alive.
In that brief moment, somewhere between divine and perfect, where soul meets body, heaven reaches earth and elvis is still around, I was alive. For the first time in such a long time, I was alive.
(scene....gosh, I'm a dork)

It wasn't until after I read it I finally realised just how much my life will change on august 17th(Moving day). It wasn't until I read this I realised that I hadn't seen Sarah since Graduation...I don't know, I thought I should share this moment as a reminder, or a word of advice or something useful to you fellas. At the very least, I'm sharing a memory that I really like.
