It is truly remarkable the swiftness with which time flows. I can't believe that I am now faced with the final night before the end of a chapter of my life.
As I lay here now in my bed for the last time, I prepare to begin a new chapter of my life. Though I will always cherish my past, I realize that I can never return to it and I should not spend much time looking back. However, my spirit trembles beneath the weight of the realization that when I next return home I will return completely changed and the exact person I am now will be gone.
I am faced with a deep yearning to grasp onto my childhood and not let go though I know I must! The endless possibilities of the future excite me, but I am counter balanced by feelings of anxiety towards change. I do not want to give up what I have now though I know there lies even greater things in the future.
I have been blessed with incredibly loving and caring parents with whom I enjoy a great closeness. I have been privledged to know some of the most uncommon, noble, and purehearted people as friends. And I have made this place my home. I can't help but feel as though some of this is being torn away from me. But I know that in time this feeling too shall pass.
I stand now ready in mind, body, and spirit to meet this challenge and begin the next chapter of my life!
Hope that wasn't too heavy ;)
