It's been a year...

Its been a year since QCS happened, since I applied for University courses, It's been a year since I've seen so many people from my Grade 12 year, It's been a year since I've met my amazing boyfriend and best friend, It's been a long year of deciding, denying, accepting, remembering all the things that we were used to, imagining and hoping, It's been a year of keeping long distance friendships and finding out who your true friends are.

Why does last year feel like yesterday.... It's not like we can put a years worth of activities into one day, but it sure feels like we have.

Reminder

For beautiful eyes look for the good in others
For beautiful lips speak only words of kindness
And for poise walk with the knowledge that you are
Never alone

Past Forevers

We all leave something behind sometime in our lives. A house, home town, long term friendships. When we go back to revisit the past times, a sense of clarity and connectivity rolls over us. Driving past a home of 5 years, not much has changed. The main landscape was still holding, the pool still inground, the old dog house and chicken pen still erected. Only minor changes such as overgrown grass, clothes on the line and trees cut down make a small impact on the views of the family home. When something new appears in our lives, the memories of our pasts are pushed back but their never far from our daily thoughts.

"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."
