College talk has left me thinking about the future and all the things that it holds. There are people in the world right now, people who are no more than strangers that will one day be a part of my life. They are out there just reading or sleeping or watching The League like I am. One day we will cross paths unexpectedly and then ask how we have never met and how have I gone this long without knowing you and how could I ever have lived without you in my life. And I can't wait to meet these people.
But then again, all this college talk has made me realize my amazing friends will all be going their separate ways, finding the strangers that will come to fill their lives with love and laughter and memories. But not yet. Right now we are still all living in the same small town, and we have a bit of time on our hands-a rarity-during Winter Break. And as years go by, we will come home from college and still have this bit of time to meet up again, catch up, maybe introduce strangers that have become friends to one another. This is our time. And I guess what I want to say is that I am going to appreciate it and the next eight months because not seeing some of my friends for ten days already feels like forever because I am a melodramatic teenager who isn't used to being patient and as crazy as it sounds I miss them! Sorry this is the most pathetic blog post ever but just appreciate the fabulous people in your life-one day we may become the strangers.
