Little brother is graduating today. It’s really scary how fast time lapses - I think Mom and Dad are more surprised that I am.
I’ve driven down this road so many times over the course of so many years. It’s nice to know each time was different, not in terms of the way the road looks but just what sorts of things were preoccupying my mind at the time.
Never Let Me Go - Lana Del Rey
Numbers - we base our lives around seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, so on and so forth. They help us keep track, but I personally don’t think every aspect of our lives need to follow a calculated schedule. Life is about the unexpected and spontaneous, and if I want to live in the moment I can’t always be worried about the future. I don’t doubt anymore about us. I did something incredibly brave and frightening today, and I’m so relieved I did.
I don’t know if feelings are supposed to dissipate so quickly, but it’s worth giving more shots. Of course, the tables could turn one day, too. I’m so glad I have all this time to relax.
