Sorry, Sara. I had to throw my two cents in too. One more post before the summer ends (ok, not the technical summer, but really. It's over). Plus, I can't leave this journal on a downer.
I am going to be contemplative for a moment as I have realized something.
A few hours ago, I said I wished everything would change. But so much already did, just in this one summer. I can't think of a single friend who hasn't altered so much in the past few months. In the end, for the better. And in all my life, I've never had such an awesome time. Looking back on it, I wish I could have appreciated it as much as I do now.
Maybe it wasn't the happiest summer of my life. But it was the most meaningful, in ways I can't really explain. I don't really feel closer to anything I want, but it's not a bad thing I guess. It just... is.
Hmm... everything and nothing changed all at once. How does that work?
Road trips. Laughter. Swinging. Bus rides. RENT. Water. Pirates. Movies. Hugs. Clarinet. Fire. Truth or dare. Wicked. Seashells. Postcards. Playgrounds. Band camp. Ice cream. Fireworks. IMs. Stars. Photographs. Friendship. Love.
Yeah, I just got this song in my head. So here you go.
Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Really, thanks. I love you all.
