Having life discussions and dreading the college lifestyle we've grown to love and hate over the years with one of my dearest friends, Shealy, at our favorite local coffee shop, 929. We've known each other since the first week of school freshman year and I instantly felt a connection between and a friendship developing into one of the people I now will one day miss the most when it becomes time to move on to the next chapter.
Now, as the first semester of senior year comes to an abrupt end and I'm further fearing the unknown. Thanksgiving is 3 days away and I've been thinking of all the things I'm thankful for in life. We often think of things such as family, friends, and good health, but never grasp the full effects of it all and thankful enough for the joyous times until it becomes too late. We're the lucky ones, the wild youth, and the reckless. We constantly look at the bad things in life and try to alter the cons to outweigh the pros to many of life's problems. College seems to dismantle all the certainties of life. For me, it has been about figuring out the things I believe in the most and discovering all the enjoyable moments that come unraveled as time moves along.
One day, I'm going to be old and grey. I'm going to look back and try to remember all the times where I achieved everything I put my mind to and then I'm going to have some of those deep regrets. There's all kinds of ways to view the world. You can't see the world clearly through darkness, only through light. Today I'm still searching for that light. I'm in a place where every day is a struggle to fight. Imagine each day like a scene from your favorite movie, listening to the sweet sounds of a perfect soundtrack.
