Captured Thought: Oh crap. I'm going to graduate soon.

          It's so damn weird. I've always been used to being in the same community of the same kids- or most of them at least- since kindergarden surrounding me in the same grade. People whose faces have transformed from little first graders to young adults so gradually that I never noticed until I looked at old video tapes of elementary school performances; we all have grown into ourselves. Now we will be going all of our separate ways; some going off to college far away, and starting their lives. I sort of feel like I'm going to be left behind, as I'm staying and going to Oakton for my post-high school education. Other than (hopefully) working a lot and going to school a couple days a week, nothing will change much for me.
          I'm sad that my friends and I will drift apart, as it's already happening. I can only hope that their memories of me will be fond ones, and that their minds will drift to me once in a while. I really don't want to be forgotten by people I have felt so close to at some point in my life. I also hope that they make the right decisions when on their own, I want all of my friends and loved ones to live to their fullest potential. And I suppose I should follow my own advice. I need to come out of the shell of my bedroom, break away from the video game consoles, get things done for once, meet people, and live my life to my fullest potential. All I can say to everyone is good luck with their journeys. Live long and prosper.

           I shall part with a happy image:
