I have come to a startling conclusion. College is nothing more than a conspiracy to take away my closet friends. Curse you higher education!!
Today my friends Eric and Anneliesse both departed for college. Packing up the past 18 years of thier lives into cardboard boxes to be able to pursue their dreams.
It doesn't seem real, we are all still 13 years old, all still in the middle of orthadoncia, all still doing puppet ministry, all still one big happy family, with years of highschool ahead. Now dreams and hopes have been transformed into a vision and plans. Our once similar dreams are now a diverse as the people we have grown into. Shawn is off to the army, Tyler to be a youth pastor, Eric an english lit. major, Anneliesse is entering the business world. Funny how the day you thought would never come, and the life you thought would never end...has ended. And here I am, still puttering around in highschool. My future looming in the horizon. Unsure of where my future will take me, but convinced the journey to get there will be nothing short a astounding. Their departing makes me more aware that the life I have known so clearly for the last 5 years is never to be the same again, new people are coming into it, and the old departing, It's like a painful amputation, and the slow and difficult process of having a fake limb attached and learning how to work with it. You will be able to do all the same thing as before, just not in the same way. I will live my life as always..but with a new way of living.
