The microwave is the best monitor of my time. That is of course where i do most of my cooking. Lets say that i set the microwave for 5 minutes. Well, i'm a pretty impatient girl and usually walk to my room, go to the bathroom or play with the puppy and before i know it, i hear the timer signaling that 5 minutes has past. It's kind of a slap in the face each time. Realizing that was 5 minutes of my life. Five minutes i'll never get back. Did i spend it as i should have?
Every time i think i'm going to update, i just realize its been too long, no one cares, the world is round....yeah, i dont know.
So here goes my, "2003 and me" post...
2003 both started and ended very poorly for me, but somewhere in between i managed to have the time of my life.
My personal 2003 Theme: Goodbye.
I've never been one for goodbyes, and unfortunately this year seemed to be outlined with them. Graduation, war, break-ups, death, college, distance and time all seemed to be lurking around the corner ready to displace someone else from my life. I've had to watch, some of the people i cared most about walk out of my life, and those images will continue to haunt me well into 2004.
Your whole senior year you're littered with comments and advice to cherish each day and everyone you're sharing it with. I don't think you can fully understand that advice until all you have left to cherish are memories and the ghost of who you used to be.
Many of my friends moved on to universities this fall, we all left with years of fantasized glossy memories of each other but I believe that in many ways i said goodbye to my friends in august, forever. I still see them every couple of weeks but it will never be the same. We're all slowly growing apart. The phone calls are less frequent, visits are far between and worst of all, We're all okay with it. My worst fears are slowly becoming a reality. I guess we're growing up.
So I guess I've turned into one of those old people preaching about cherishing your time, but it's true. You never know when something will happen to change everything. Before you know it you'll wake up one morning and realize you've lost everything...just like i have.
