It's 1:18 AM

As evidenced by the title, it's 1:18 in the morning. I'm getting up at five thirty. Sleep escapes me at the moment, because my mind is moving at the speed of light, while my body is struggling to keep up. I haven't blogged in a while, I've told myself multiple times over the last few weeks that I'd actually sit down and do it, but it just hasn't come to me. But now, in the wee hours of the morning of today, I felt the inspiration to sit, well lay, and share myself with you all once again.

One of the things I do when I'm feeling an overwhelming amount of emotion is write. Not things like blog posts really, more like songs, poems, call them whatever you will. I wrote one of these last year when I was having a close-to-complete meltdown over the fact that my best friend was going away to college this year. Looking back over it today, I find new meaning in the words, and I find myself applying this fear that I had, to the present, but now I'm part of what I'm afraid of. Not only will my friends be leaving, but so will I.

I'm not going to post what I wrote, just because of its personal nature, and this is the internet, after all. So if any of you who actually know me want to read it, just ask me sometime.

There is something I realized... Yes we are all going to be moving away next year, moving on to bigger and better things in life. Just because we will all be in different places doesn't mean that we'll lose the love we have for each other and the friendships we have developed over all these years. Everybody always worries about what the future holds, but I know that with God's grace, we will grow up, and grow old, always as friends. Forever.
