High school's coming to an end, college is looming ahead, people and friends that I've known for years are packing up and starting a new chapter in their lives elsewhere and still others I'm leaving behind. I worry that I'll lose touch with the very people who've helped mold me into the person I've become. And its a scary thought. These people are my world, and being without them is frightening. While I am looking forward to the change of scene and meeting new people, I know that I'll miss the familiarity and the comfortable at-home feeling I get when I'm around them. Some people I know I will still talk to and keep in touch with but for others, I know that this is good bye, and I don't want it to be. I want to remain a fixture in these people's lives, to see them grow, celebrate in their successes and comfort them when they don't quite make it. I want to share in their joy and I want them to share in mine. I want to be there to protect and guide them, offer them a caring hand and a listening ear when they need it. I want to be the panacea for every worry, pain, or obstacle they'll have to overcome. But I know that for some of them, I can't. And that is what depressed me. And now I can only hope that during the time I've spent with these people, I've imparted some lasting impression on them, like a memory that they can cherish or advice that they can use. That to me is the biggest compliment, when people who have moved on can look back and think of me fondly, and not be forgotten. I never want to be mediocre, I dont want to be "just some girl." I want to be somebody unforgettable.
