I spent the last few weeks writing them all letters, promising them that we would be bonded forever, that nothing would ever change how close we were in those precious moments. And now, years later, I am really only close with a handful of them. I found new friendships and relationships with people at college. I don t regret that, and I do not lament the passing of past friends from my life. Sometimes new and different is better, sometimes you never know that better was out there because you were too afraid to risk looking for it.
Life is a series of transitions.
We fall in and out of this pulsing continuum of familiarity and new experience. It is a strange adventure. All of it, searching for some sort of reason behind every action we take and every emotion we feel. I do not know why I am here or even where I am going, but I do know that my life is about figuring that out. Maybe all of this growing up will simply lead me to see that there really are no answers to all of these questions that dance across my mind.
