strangeness

It's amazing to me how fast we've all grown up.
I can't believe how much things change.

I leave for Jamaica tomorrow. So I won't see you for a while.
And for the first time ever, "a while" can be quite a long time.
So if you leave before I get back, know that I miss you terribly and I wish that we didn't have to move onto bigger and better things. But at the same time, I'm glad that we do.

I loved growing up with all of you, and I hope that even though we are just starting to separate, we can still grow up together across whatever distance there may be.



It's strange to watch people begin to move away, to leave the one place that we've all known for most of our lives.

It's strange to think that my parents started off somewhere very far from here, and someday my kids may think of this place as very far away.

It's strange how distances can seem so close and yet so very far away at the exact same time.

but most of all, it's strange how I can be so incredibly happy with the experiences we've had together, and yet so disappointed that we couldn't have had more.
