"Do you feel it now?..." - Melissa Rox. (also my 100th post haha)

do you feel it now?...
do you feel the fact that highschool is coming to a close. I feel it. I'm already saying goodbyes to people in my head. Dismissing the ones i've never talked to, and drawing in the ones that mean the world to me. One of my best friends is even leaving to another town after grad. The other wants to live in Hong Kong...on the other side of the world. Do you feel it now? 13 years was definately not long enough. In fact it was the shorter than i asked for. You don't pay attention to these things in middle school or even at the beginning of highschool. Do you remember that random kid that left your grade? Okay, one less person in your grade, no big deal. But what if that one kid was your best friend. Now try the whole grade leaving...and nobody ever really sees each other. I know that you can say "it's all about how much effort you make"...but reality hits change and eventually you just stop. NOT because they didnt mean that much to you. In fact they meant the whole world to you. But eventually you stop being friends with the people you see everyday for 6 or more hours a day. I can say, "that won't be me". But think of all the summer camp friends you swore you'd stay in touch with. I can hardly remember their names. I'll never forget the names of the people who guided me through highschool, but within a decade the only thing we'll have in common is facebook.
Do you feel it now? I'm not saying this because im a pessimist. I'm saying this because the truth of it is sinking in, and i hope that by saying it, it stops being true. But you and me both know thats not happening. I couldn't forget the years of PA if i tried my hardest. But i feel it, its coming to a close. This will be the greatest chapter of my life.
