No. Seven: To my friends and family--and friends of family, and family of friends, and friends of friends of family.....


Graduation. Uh. It was wonderful, and horrible. All these people will be gone! It's like seventh grade all over again. While Mr. Morse was giving his speech, I was enthralled, well, up until the point when my thought process started straying from his. The more I thought about my future, the more upset I got. All these people in my life that I love so much, they'd all move on. And even if some of them stayed in my life, it would never be the same. It's not like it would end when I graduated high school either. College would be the same, then adulthood. I was socially doomed. But, there was still a bit of hope. It took me a second to figure this out.

What is it that I love about these people? The constant growth and learning around them--not just the teachers, but the students as well... it was outstandingly unique. Inspiring even. Then it clicked. It was God's influence in their lives. It was the amazing faith these people had and shared. Together, we were so strong--are so strong. Now to my point. Even when these people are gone, and even though I'll still miss them, the greatest thing about them will always remain, because they got it from Him who will always be with me. I don't want to sound cheesy, but seriously, God will always be with me--and you. I've heard it before, but it hadn't occurred to me quite like this. He's the only constant, the only thing you can really trust wholeheartedly. Wow, I'm in awe. Maybe everyone has figured this out already and I'm just behind a bit, but I really feel like I don't have to worry anymore about it.

I'm gonna go put my life is good t-shirt on. =)
