Time awkwardly suspends itself. For the past weeks I've been trying to make sense of graduation. The finality of it all. The inability to return to the comfort of the past 13 years. Everything became familiar, and that familiarity comforted me. Thankfully I grew up with the characters (both fictional and non) that helped me cope with the reality of growing up. I'm grateful for the books, movies, and people I incorporated into my world. And tonight, the last true day of high school, at 12:25 am, I realize that I'll graduate, go to college, and grow up. But my life will move at the same pace. I'm the same person living the same way with just extra days added on. I'll change, but everything around me will change at the same time. It's a foreign feeling, but I just keep reminding myself that freshman year is academically a continuation of high school and socially better.
