As I write this last post for the semester, I am sitting on the dock behind my house. I take deep breaths of the fresh air as it blows over the lake that stretches out in front of me. The waves crash rhythmically against the side of the dock and it seems as if all other noises have ceased. This peacefulness temporarily calms my finals week anxieties and as much as I want it to be a week from now, when I will be at home again, in this moment, I wish time would stay still.
So much has changed in this past year. A part of me wishes things were like they used to be…when times were simpler and everything was comfortable…but the other part of me knows that I don’t want to go back. I have to move on from this point. I have to move forward.
I stare off into the distance and the sun begins to set. It’s almost cliché. This year’s chapter has ended and summer break is about to begin. I look forward to all of the exciting changes that await me.
Farewell…
