the closer i am

oh man.

what a long, strange, wonderful day.

and yes, i'm drunk.

tomorrow is graduation.

i don't believe it. i don't.

and yet i do. and it will be wonderfully strange and beautiful, like today.

too little, too late, are such sad words, but so true.

there are many alumni here, including a woman from the class of 1922 and five representatives from the class of 1929, celebrating their 75th reunion.

i bet they would tell anyone how fast it all went by.

that's so frightening.

because it does.

and this is the only life we know, regardless of whether or not it's the only one we have.

i need to do something to make it worth it.

immediately.

but how. can i do what i want?

i don't know.

i'm afraid to sleep, afraid to let time slip by, and yet it does so without you even noticing, so easily. even when you are loving the things you do. even when you are too sad to love the things you used to burn with passion for. even when missing that passion is the best you can do. the fact that you remember it counts.

right now i love it all. my friends, this campus, everything i've done off this campus, my pajamas, this bottle of water, life.

so fast. too fast.

my god, i love it.
