so then we grew a little and knew a lot

my life is actually coming together for the first time in a really long time and i'm not quite sure what to do with myself. waking up smiling every day feels beautiful. life is so short. my bestest asked me on the phone before how it feels to not be joining everyone back to school this week. it feels AMAZING. i can do anything i want. i love finally having control over my life and doing things for myself. i wake up everyday and go to a job i love, and i spend the nights with people i love. growing up isn't the worst after all i guess.

thoughts.

i can't really believe that this summer is almost over. in a way my summer will be extended far into october. fall doesn't really start here until mid october, and with my first fall approaching without school, i don't know if things will really feel much different. without saying too much, this has been an intense summer of loving and losing and running around. i've spent it in 5 different countries, and started my full time job. i lost a best friend, but i gained more. i think i really saw how caring and compassionate people can be. when my life got twisted upside down, i received overwhelming love and support that made it pretty difficult to be upset for longer than 5 minutes. and when i needed to sit down, they understood, and when i needed to cry, they understood. at the end of the day, those are the types of things that are important.
