Graduation:
Slow in the moment, faster than you'd think it'd go by.
Artificially fun but overall soul crushing.
More for the parents.

And here it is. Once upon a time a girl who was under the impression that she had way to much time on her hands than was actually there. This is how it all began. First she blew out 18 candles. She then left for the adventure of her life with seven of her best friends. When arriving back from conquering whatever it was she had believed to have accomplished she was sent off with the class of 2011 to the theme park Lagoon. Then before she had time to take a breath she was being shoved by Mr. Deans into what seemed to be a cage surrounded by beading eyes. A diploma of graduation was then chucked into her hands and she was surrounded by choices. Time stopped and she realized she had only time left. Time for her to make herself up to what she had dreamed of her whole life.

It seems as though I am surrounded by life. There is so much life I am choking on it. After my melt down of suffocating on life I have made only one decision. Step by step.

I am very, very ecstatic for those who have already started making those big decisions that remind us norms what awaits beyond the horizon. Aka Megan Abel Bum and those over achieving brothers that are around the age 19.  But as for me and my road I'm taking the "Long Way Round." (Song by Dixie Chicks. Highly recommended.)

The point is I made it. How? Probably because I have the best mom in the world. ( I dare you try and deny the fact, you will loose. Loose everything you have.) Thank you Mama Moo for making me out to be a better person than I am. Not only did I make it but I'm now starting. Starting the process of creating the person I am becoming and will be for the rest of my days. Hoo rah.
