Graduation

It's been 12-13 years since I stepped foot on that big yellow school bus and cried my eyes out because I didn't want to leave my mom.
Now it's graduation night and I'm pretty sure I'll be crying over the same thing.

Is it wierd to say that when it hits me, it hits me in "pieces"? Like, I'll start to tear up when I think about it, but when I stop thinking about it I'm OK- and then it doesn't bother me? I guess when I dwell on the thoughts of leaving for Australia is when I get worked up. I haven't officially broken down yet. I've got a while for that to kick in.

Graduation was always an "ending" to me. Throughout high school, every time I thought of "Commencement" I thought basically... LIFE ENDING.
Until recently have I realized that it's truly a beginning. It was when that clicked in my heart that I started looking forward to it without crying or being upset about graduating.

I know I have so many things in my future to look forward to that God is really beginning to bring forth and open doors... (such as college)

Yes, it's bittersweet but I think being able to let go and move on but still cherish the memories is a skill to aquire.

Live for today, Class of 09 because we'll never get tonight back. Say what you need to say to your friends because after you walk out the doors these relationships won't be the same.
That can be a very cool thing but it can also be sad..

So cry when you need to, laugh every moment, love at all times and remember to smile :)

I've learned so far that
Life only gets better!!
God only gets better!!
Joy keeps growing,
and love keeps you going..!

Good luck and be blessed- all of you.

Love,
Kylie
