Change.

Last night I had to say goodbye to a good friend as she leaves for college and a new beginning. I'm so happy for her, for all my friends, but as I watch them walk away and start a new life, full of excitement and new things; I realize I'm stuck in the exact same place, and I will be for a while. I'm not worried about being bored or lonely because I'm usually neither of those things, I always find something to do, and I always have someone to keep me occupied or entertained. I'm just worried about where I'm going. I have no path, no commitment, no exact schedule. I love being organized, even though I'm usually such an unorganized person. It's that fear of not knowing where my life is taking me. I feel like I'm playing this board game where there's so many twists and turns, so many opportunities and so many obstacles.
I just hope that through all of this and through my friends college experiences that we don't distance and grow apart. My friends have truly shaped me into the person today and have given me strength to succeed as much as I have. I appreciate every single one more than I could ever imagine. I know that people change, relationships change, and friendships change- but I always think that you should hold the ones that have CHANGED you as a person close to your heart.
