Reminder

It's all coming so fast. Yet so slow.

It takes all of my power to tell myself to slow down, to

appreciate these last few days. I see college graduates

all over, even in my own family, and I so badly wish

it was me. But why?

I want to enjoy college. These 'best years of my life.'

I want to live. I don't want to be envious.

So why am I?

It's like a disease. This envious feeling. It eats me up inside

until I realize my life is spinning around me and I'm stuck

in the past. It happens far too often, and I don't want this to happen

for my high school graduation.

I will enjoy it. I will breathe and laugh and smile. I will

live in the moment. I won't compare myself to others. I won't

let my last few months here before college slip through my fingers.
