The Future Ahead

Lately I have been thinking a lot about this small moment I am in and how it is passing me by. High school will be over before I know it and I'll be thrown into the real world. 

This really hit me this past Saturday when I went up to CU Boulder for the football game and was able to see Hannah and Mackenzie. It seems like just yesterday we were playing tennis and planning our Christmas party. Now, the Christmas of 2014 is fast approaching and Hankenzie is no longer around to see on a daily basis. It's scary but also incredibly eye-opening. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. The real world is so much more exciting and.. Well, real. I crave all the knowledge and experiences that await me and feel like I'm wasting my time with pointless moments and forgettable people. 

Only a select few people have truly touched my life. Only a few people and things are worth remembering. The real memories begin in college, and even a lot of those will slip my mind once I have a family, have traveled, and have actually lived.

Stopping by CU, even for just the evening, really opened my eyes to how quickly we are expected to grow up. The memories are worth making, but they're going to all be forgotten. That's just the way life is. Things I used to think about day after day never cross my mind anymore. It's fascinating and just so interesting how we change. 

Sometimes people change for the worse, others for the better. Change is change but I refuse to settle for an ordinary life. I'm living my life how I want and am never changing myself for anyone. The future is awaiting afterall, and I want it to accept me for me. 

The future out there, but for now I am in the present. Until next time xxx. 

P.S. Enjoy a couple photos from the football game. Look at those beautiful mountains.
