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.
