moving from here.

completing this semester and the short time that remains brings signs of relief ahead.
graduating in less than two weeks brings a sense of accomplishment.
purchasing a ticket to Tanzania leaves me feeling empowered.
looking forward to the abrupt changes ahead brings great excitement and anticipation.

it nearly makes me want to bust out in a cheesy, remembered chorus of the past:

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end.
And suddenly it's like we're women and men

and this is how it feels.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

thank you Vitamin C.

this place will continue to hold memories and thoughts over seasons where i've been changed.
but i'm now finding myself ready to move from here.
not because i'm ensured of what's to come.
but more so the excitement that extends over the unknown.
over the paths which could be taken.

i want to step with courage.
