Graduation

I sure am going to miss the Seniors...
Kenny. Sara. Siraj. Dong. Dennis. Joe Karen. Particularly.

It's funny how friendship works. One minute they're a stranger and the next thing you know, they're your friend (or brother, or sister in my cases -hehe-).

It's true. I haven't even talked to most of them recently. Schedules have been hectic. Days have been busy. Or correction I guess, I've been too busy. But for some reason, even though I haven't kept to as update with them I still feel like I can always go back to them. That's the beauty of certain relationships. There's enough substance and history to make it last in those dry days.

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

I could apply that quote to every one of those silly Seniors :) They've been there for me. And it's okay if they didn't always have much to say, if they didn't really give advice to me- because honestly, all I needed then was for somebody to listen. I didn't need someone to criticize me or tell me what I did wrong because I knew those things.

I guess alot of the history's come from last summer. It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Wow. Time flies by. It sure has this year.

Man, I love those kids! They better visit me.
And whatever happens, even if I do lose touch with them, I'll always remember them, each and everyone for their unique qualities that make me love them so so SOOO freaking much!

I must honestly say, I am living the life right now. Spring break was pure relaxation. Now awaits only a few more weeks of torture... hahaha. I'm definitely not ready to go back to school at this point. I think I'm still dazed by Spring Break. It was a wonderful week of going to the library, reading Dear John, playing on the playground, and chilling with the friends at Stone Mountain! It was so nice to finally breathe again. I almost forgot what it felt like to be this carefree. Life is good. What else can I say?

And maybe certain things are really worth taking a chance for... whether they are or aren't meant to last forever.

Thinking back on the last couple of weeks, I'm not really sure where my life is going. I'm not sure where this particular path is leading me- what God has in store for me today or tomorow. I do know one though: whatever happens, happens- and everything in this world happens for a reason.

You know how when you take a field trip the bus ride is always the best part? I suppose life is like a taking a field trip. Getting to that final destination is rewarding, but the ride, the journey, is what makes it so worthwhile.

And it's never about how much you get done on that bus ride, because honestly, how much can you really get done there? But it's all about how you decide to spend that time- and everyone knows that the bus ride is more fun when you're with your friends.

I'm continually grateful to God for the people He has brought in to my life. And I believe, even if there is that risk of being hurt or rejected, those people are worth taking a chance for. Whether they are or aren't meant to last forever there I'll never know till later. But in the end, I'm sure it'll all make sense, and I'm sure there'll all be a purpose behind it.

I'm getting nervous about college.
