My mommy always told me for as long as I can remember that around my birthday I changed the most every year. For some reason it seems to be true. I think there is something about getting to the end of the school year and moving towards new things that makes it happen. With all the craziness that's gone on in school this year it only makes the summer seem that much brighter. Plus I feel like I have accomplished some work I'm truly proud about. I mean I'm no Ansel Adams but I'm working on that balance of concept and visual greatness that makes something truly great. Who knows if I'll ever get there.
I've been doing a lot of thinking today about past friendships and even some that have just weakened since the end of high school. It's sad how that happens. But I get excited that I have the opportunity to get a little touch into there new lives through facebook. I was looking through the photo album from one of my bestest friends from high school and I noticed the cell phone in her hand. It sparked an interesting thought. When you around people you get excited about new things they get and you know things about them that others wouldn't know. Just little thinks like the common phrase they always use...that changes as time goes and a better one comes along. So I sat there looking at this photo thinking..."I don't know her anymore." I have a feeling she's grown into the person I hoped she would grow into. She seems much more confident, comfortable with herself, and loving life. I think we were both in similar situations upon graduating. We just needed to bust out of our shells. I sure know I've done that and I believe she has too. I'm looking back on those days fondly and hoping that at some point we can catch up a bit.
After that thought lets just cherish the past, look forward to the future, but live in the moment. ;)
