Graduation

Well, this weekend, I graduated high school. My mother came into town, I've missed her dearly. We got to spend a lot of time together and I feel like a lot of my hurt feelings were mended, which is awesome. I dunno, it's weird. Her and I can communicate without even talking, and we just have that special mom-daughter connection that I feel like not a whole lot of people these days get to experience. Parents are always pressuring their kids to do this or do that, believe this or believe that, it's ridiculous. My mother wants us to be ourselves. She supports us no matter what we choose, and I want to do the same for her. I know that she is going through a tough time, we all are. But she is very lost, and I need to let her know that I am there for her. A big part of my life has just passed me with graduation. I am no longer that highschool teenager. I'm a graduate. Most of my classmates I'll never see again. Ever. And that makes me sad, yet happy. Some of those kids I NEVER want to see again!!!! HA! Anyway, I'm very grateful to those who have helped me through high school, through all the obstacles. It's been great, it's been fun, but now it's over. It goes fast. To those of you reading that just want to get it over with, that's what you feel now, but soon (too soon) it'll all be gone. It'll all vanish before your very eyes. So cherish these moments while you can, before you are shoved into the real world.
