i'm leaving...

[dynastyprincess]

sitting at an unknown japanese restaurant picked out by dad, mom brushes away a strand of my almost-long hair as it falls precariously near the udon soup i'm eating. and it hits me--when i go to college, she won't be able to do that anymore. and i tell her, sounding as if i don't appreciate the gesture. but that is not my meaning at all--"it's..."

*hugs tight* it is tough to leave familiar and good things behind, but soon you'll make new ones and you're new life will start to settle in. And it's not like you'll NEVER see them again, just every once in a while instead of every day, which you'll start to enjoy A LOT. Trust me ^_~.

Yo!

Hey! Sorry about that little flashback to the college app days, but I couldn't resist a little stream of conciousness in this emotional time. Okay, so imagine if Atlas wasn't there haha...it's the sky he's holding back unleashed, so to speak. Wow, you get the prize for longest comment yet, and probably what will be in my journal's history! My parents had the realization today too about me not being there for most of this week. My dad was so sentimental about not buying that one carton of orange juice, or the apple cake I've so loved. But hey, can you feel college so close or what? :-p

i hate it when the meaning of my words come out wrong. explaining what i meant never seems to be adequate.
