I am a true believer in three things: Jesus, peanut butter anytime, and living each day as it comes. But lately all I can do is wake up, and wish for tomorrow to come faster. As I reach the end of this chapter of my life I can't help but to want to get to the next one faster. It's like when you get to the end of a really great book. You've enjoyed reading it, and now, with only a few pages left, you just want to finish it. But you keep getting interrupted and never seem to be able to reach the last page. That is my life right now.
As I've said I plan on moving in August. Well August came a little early this year. I got offered a chance to live in Alabama this summer.. Honestly I couldn't be more thrilled to leave behind all my friends and family and pursue this new experience. I've been ready to get out of Dodge for years now. Though the other people in my life are having a hard time adjusting, I'm just trying to figure out how much clothing I'm going to need for the rest of my life. I just hate that I've already said goodbye.
Being ready to go is great. It has been a great advantage to me anytime emotions run high about my departure. But being ready to go seems to lead to all ready gone syndrome. I'm missing ordinary moments that will someday be memories because I spend all my time day dreaming about what's to come, instead of living in the here and now. I have never been a fan of people who were always waiting for the next big thing, but in this case, I'm not waiting for the next big thing. The next big thing is here and I'm itching to chase after it. That doesn't mean I'm not going to miss everyone here who loves and supports me. No, I will miss them all terribly. But if there is one thing I can say for adventure, it doesn't give you much time to think on the past. On an adventure, every day is another step forward. I'm on the greatest adventure of all, life after high school.
