Over the past school year I have been comparing my old school and the one from which I recently graduated. I moaned about how despite the fact that my school year started earlier, and I had no weather related cancellations, I would still graduated later than the friends I left behind (literally not metaphorically, I still love you guys). I complained about how my new friends just could never compare to my old ones no matter how much they made me feel loved. Now my high school career is completely over, and I can't help but feel like I owe an apology to my classmates and peers.
I've been so caught up in missing all my friends that I was not more grateful for all the people in the present. This isn't really a new realization to me, and I kind of hinted at it in my "People are People" post, but after graduation I felt like I should address is head on. Sure would I rather be graduating with the class I spent the most time with? Yes, of course, but I can't disregard all the great people I met, and I wish I could have spent more time with them and respected the present when it was actually the present.
Now, I would like to say I've finally caught up in my life, especially since I won't be the only one thrown completely into a new environment. I'm actually quite scared for college, but then again who wasn't at one point or another? Even though I'm nervous I won't do well, I'm also very excited to start this new journey. Speaking of journeys, before I go off to college I get to go on a trip to reconnect with my ancestral roots. I will get to visit my obahchan and eat as much Japanese food as I can possibly handle.
I just want to lastly apologize for not being very coherent in this post. It was written over a couple days, and I could just never find the exact words to describe what I felt. To summarize I'm thankful for everyone I've met all throughout high school and sad that some of those people didn't live up to their unspoken promise of friendship (what.) but cannot wait to see where I will go next.
C'est la vie.
