One Score and Zero Years Ago

Wow. In about 20 minutes I will be 20 years old. Dang. Sometimes life just passes me by. It really doesn't feel like it was that long ago that high school was approching, that UCLA was my destiny, and that well, I am where I am. At some point along the road here, I found myself. I maybe that sounds corney and all, but this is who I am, and I love it. It's not that I don't care; it's that I love it. Which is amazing really. How did that silly little girl grow up to be a silly little girl but only slightly bigger? I'm just fine with never really knowing for sure.

Life is tough. But it's so great. I can't really even imagine it any other way -- easy that is. Something is always a complication, and... ok, I'm not going to emote much further. I just think that being around such excellent people has molded me into the person I am. Thanks you guys! I give YOU a THUMBS UP!

But really. This is kind of frightening. So... I remember my first day of school, and enter high school, and graduating and coming here, and now... now I have more to look forward to. Oh god! Graduate school! I actually have to have a career after college!? What!?

It's more than academics though. In fact, that might be the least of my worries. Friendship and Love --- those are so much more fluctual than anything else, and not only that, but so much more impacting upon my life and general well-being. I've learned a lot, mostly in the realm of patience, but everyday (I'm not kidding here, I mean it when I say "everyday"), something suprises me. A new feeling, and old one, a memory, a glimpse at a future, a new flutter in my heart. And I wonder if it will forever be genuine.

I'm really looking forward to everything. Life is going to be so much fun. I have so much to do! So many hills to climb over, so many things to jump off of, so many ways to hurt myself accidentaly, so many "perfect-timing" moments of irony... I could go on and on.

And though no one reads this... haha... mmm... I like your company.

Take care.



And it follows that I am, because you are:
it follows from ‘you are’, that I am, and we:
and, because of love, you will, I will,
We will, come to be.
