1000 Promises

Apr 19

You know.

I said the same thing to myself in 8th grade.

“You’re going to do something new.
Something amazing.
Something exciting.
High school is a new chapter in life.”

Looking back at all the friends, enemies, frenemies, adventures, good times, and bad.
I don’t think I really regret anything.
As cliche, and strange of a thing to say.

Sure I’m not friends with the same people as freshman year…
We get over it and move on.
It’s an inescapable truth, people change.
What are you gunna do?

But I’ve learned more about myself in these last four years.
From interests to life lessons to even facing some fears.
And I think that’s important.

I know I didn’t do everything I wanted to in high school.
But I’m still living, right?
I still have the chances to do all that I want to.

I think, if I didn’t gain anything from this nonsense, these last four years would’ve been a complete waste of time.

Dear college,
I’m not wholly prepped for you.
But I’m just going to take a chance and just go with it.
Yes, I’m nervous as fuck.
But it just makes the adventure so much more awesome.
