But We Are Not Making An Acceptance Speech.
 Things come and go,
& time passes quickly.
If you blink, you'll miss a lifetime.
That's what I learned in the summer of 2008.
I spent the first half of my summer worrying and stressed out. My parents made me drive all the time so I could get my license, and driving wasn't particularly my favorite thing in the world. It's scary, and so many lives have been blown into the wind from our over-used technology in traveling; the car. There was also the stress of getting my braces off. What would I look like? How will I react to my reflection? How will others react? Will I live up to my sister's burst of sunshine that lights up the room everytime she's happy? Another thing-- I felt as though I wasn't done with school. My sophomore year was hectic and I didn't enjoy it. I wasn't as focused as I could have been. The stress carried over into the summer, and I still felt as though I had essays to write, textbooks to read, and theories to consider.
And then a lovely girl from across the world, one of my best friends, came into my eyes. We are young and dumb and decided to meet each other in real life, because that's how much we love and adore not only each other, but our very own four baby boys that like to go by the name Panic At The Disco. There are some regrets I have about her visit. Nothing to do with her, just myself. I wish I would have taken more time to just talk to her...show her a different side to me. But I got caught up and we did so much more than just talk. And then time & distance took me away from her. I will see her beauty again someday...not too long-- if we look at it in a decent perspective. Her presence was quite an experience.
For the rest of the summer, until I went to my cabin with Tyler, it felt like one whole day. There were a few different sunsets and sunrises, but they all took place within the same twenty-four hours. It went by so fast. The waves crashed, the wind blowed, and my life passed me by.
Heading up to my cabin was like stepping into a different world. The people are different. The scent is different. It tastes different. It looks different, and it feels like a new dimension. I recieved long days and wonderful memories. I was blessed and slept with the love of my life on celestial clouds. We stared into the stars, rays through the trees, and the reflection of our being in fresh water. It was beautiful, and I couldn't ask for better free days.
I will forever be grateful for the memories my angels and I created,
and I will forever hate the speed that time travels.
School is here.
