This is my last year as a kid.
Senior year. When it started, I was happy that my days of mandatory school were coming to an end. But now that it is halfway over, I am looking towards the future and become a bit sad.
I have had tons of really close friendships in my time. Most of which root into elementary and middle school. My neighbor and best friend, who graduated last year, who I have known for nearly 12 years, is going to be moving to San Diego. I will probably only see him a few times a year now.
But seriously, I think of the coming June, and I feel like I am standing on a cliff looking out over the ocean. I realize that many of the people I have been close to, I will not see for years. Which is kind of disheartening, because I can honestly say that I would take a bullet for all of my friends, and I'm sure they would do the same for me. I see the sea of endless paths myself and those closest to me will be taking. Some of them may pass or cross later on, or even parallel, but there are the few that go way off and never come back.
And I started to get that feeling like, "Holy shit I am going to lose a lot of friends here, so we need to do shit together as often as possible". Truth be told, there isn't enough time in the world to do it. I guess that could be everyone's fault. I work nights and have Fire to do, others are on sports, or working. We have overlapping school schedules, etc.
Fuck, I never thought this would happen, but I want to stay in High School.
/end
ps: Everyone have a happy and safe New Years, I will be back January 30th.
