every new beginning is some other beginning's endcouldn't have been said better than that.
it's time to put away the old books, put on my good shoes and go to college, the last chapter of my dependence. after this four year spurt of stress, new boundaries broken and experiences galore, i'll enter the real world. the scary, lonesome real world. but back up a bit. let's take it one day at a time. one day at a time. at a time. time.
to some of us, time is a big, fat, laughing bully who sits on a throne looking into a giant crystal ball with images of people like us. people like us who see time pass all too soon. people like us who don't seem to get the best out of life. we try our hardest and squeeze the juice as much as we can, but in the end, time always wins. with his malignant laugh, he'd take us away from everything and take us to the unknown oblivion of death. but back up a bit. time's not all bad.
time heals. it is only through this big bad bully that wounds are mended and scars are washed away. without time, what is forgiveness? without time, what is compassion and love? and besides, who's to say that the unknown oblivion that time inevitably takes us to is a bad thing? who knows? kaya nga unknown eh!
but anyway, backing up to where i began, i'm really excited for college. i think it's definitely going to change and define me as a person.
