So, this is the end. This is my one thousandth entry & the four year anniversary of having a livejournal. It's funny, but within this journal lays four years of pain, progress & passion.
turnedskyward chronicles my entire high school career -- both ups&downs, three serious relationships, mistakes, regrets, love, pain, death -- my life in one thousand pieces. I have made & lost many friends, I've grown up, I've fucked up, I've logged thousands of miles on my car, I've logged countless hours in movie theaters, darkrooms, communities & classrooms.
Here I am, done with it all.
I'll never take another class in High School, I'll never learn to drive again, I'll never again get restricted study hall for skipping class, and I'll never get to relive these four years again except for this journal. & that, my friends, is why I am keeping it all to myself now. I am removing everyone from my friends list & you can add me at my new journal if you so choose.
I am starting fresh. Out of the ashes comes
embers, my new journal. It looks ugly at the moment, but I'll get around to that eventually. I hope it will serve to chronicle the next four years of my life in a similar but at the same time different way than this journal has served me. In less than a month I will go off to New York University & I will learn a great many new things. I will experience so much lovejoypainsadnessgrowth & I want a blank slate.
So thank you, thank you friends for being here for me through these four years (some of you!) & for putting up with all my bullshit. It means a lot. I have a physical remembrance of the entirety of high school & you all were there to listen to my heartache, my discoveries, my life.
Thank you.
