Sayin goodbye to summer...

[shoebean]

So i sit here and i'm looking at pictures from the summer and i contemplate everything that's happend, all the people that were involved in making this quite a memorable summer i can't help but be left kinda sad that it's over, Boobers left to New Mexico, to her other life as she calls it, syl went to Boston to visit friends and is coming back saturday only to return to sarasota on monday or tuesday, the Katers is coming down this weekend so we will spend some kt fran time, somehting that is long over due. Yvy's leaving in a few weeks, And chongs is leaving the 20th. So yea my inner circle once again is being spread thin throughout the U.S. And am left with some aquantances, former co-workers(now friends whome i never see) and Chris and Jo (who are a couple, so things get weird there sometimes) All in all i have named this summer and i'm sure i've said it before the "oh shit i'm gettin old summer" of course every summer it's an "oh shit we're gettin old summer" because that's when most of our birthdays are, but this one was a little busy because things are really taking flight for me but especially for people everywhere around me, finding new apartments, moving in with boyfriends, declaring our majors, contemplating the important things in life what happend in the past, and what will happen in the future. AH the FUTURE, something that i'm slowly realizing is day by day becoming more like the present day. And of course that sounds weird but i'm refering to being a kid and thinking "in the future" or "when i grow up..." Thing is this is pretty much it, this is the future, and we are grown up. The other day someone said something about me and was like this woman bla bla bla, and i stayed quiet gave a smile and realized holy shit i am a woman, when you turn on the tv and they refer to someone who is 20 they refer to them as woman or man not girl or boy. But as my katers puts it i'm the kind of person that will never really get old, and she's probably right, this coming after my starting to cry at the mere mention of an engagement (she's not getting engaged we were talking about a dream i had and a situation that is happening) It's nuts. And Nat is older i can tell which is awesome, New york did her good i think, she kinda grew up a little, still keeping some of her innocence but i have a closer connection to her now which will make this goodbye probably a little harder than the others. Everysummer and everywinter it's the same thing, Lots of hellos and lots of goodbyes you'd think it'd get easier but it doesn't...every year i think it gets more difficult, and this is in reference to everyone that comes and goes, but that is life, we are all living it, growing and it's great to be able to know people who you knew at different stages of life and vice versa, and even more comforting to know that they will probably be there for all the other milestones that life has for us. To know that we have continued support no matter what. Because honestly that's real friendship...to have people who are honest, who offer support, who laugh with you and cry with you when life calls for it. Who pick you up when needed and who are there remembering all the good times and the bad times and to be nostalgic with. These people have become my family at this point and it's awesome to be able to say that.
like chris says "with real friends there are no boundaries" and it's probably one of the wisest things i've ever heard come out of his mouth

Just a few thoughts that are probably a little jumbled up but are what i feel.

All in all It was a blast, and i'm ready to begin Junior year of College Ouch! lotsof work ahead of me
