the rest of my life, right?
Well maybe I will...or won't. But either way I'll remember
everything I learned in the past 13 years.
I'll remember new homes and friends, happiness and laughter,
and bitterness and pain.
Now I'm out of Robinson for good, haven't decided on a school yet, and officially have all of my debt paid off. I don't belong anywhere or have an obligation to do anything. It's very freeing. Today was the beginning of another summer with a kickoff of spending quality time with quality friends. And then of course there was the quality family time :) I'm so blessed to have them. But aside from the lightheartedness of the occasion, there was some despair. Yesterday there was a car accident after the Concord High graduation. A junior was killed and her friend was injured. It reminded me of Mark. I refuse to get all sad or depressed or anything, because doing so will not get me anywhere. I did wear the glowstick bracelet from his funeral to there ceremony, though. It's almost like a good luck charm in a slightly twisted way. It's nice knowing that he's still with me as I celebrate. As I was driving home I noticed all of the memories that are held in this city, and it was strange having this much history in one place. I'm ready to begin moving forward with my life to hopefully make a difference in someone elses.
