Moments I Can Only Go Back In Time to
Don’t you ever grow up, said my mom. The thoughts of wishing to grow up sooner than I could. I remember the only way I’d sleep on school nights is if she sang me the song “I love you forever, I love you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be. I just realized everything I have is someday going to be gone. Time is neither a friend nor a foe. Because the time which is gone can’t come back and neither can childhood. Today in class My journalism teacher tells me I leave school before everyone else because I’m a senior and have finished my 12 years of school. It’s time to go to the last page and be prepared to close this chapter in my life I remember making my pwcs email in kindergarten and remembering how far 2023 is from 2010. I remember starting preschool in me soon to be high school. I remember every day from kindergarten till the last day of school in 5th grade my dad would wave at me behind the glass door watching me go to school. I remember walking out the elementary doors with my buddy walking me out and I See my grandpa after years come back from military deployment. I remember when I would see my best friend for 7 hours a day from kindergarten till 6th grade that’s 2190 days, and now I fly to her once a year. Let go the pain you are holding in your mind, your shoulders, your heart, all the way to your feet. I’m walking out with so much learned but still yearning for more. Did school give me identity? remember walking in with everyone but walking out alone in the end. I have learned the most about myself through my school years all the opportunities given to me. The teachers who saw the potential and had faith in me. I fell down many times even through the end. But I still reached my goal in the end. Let go the pain of you to make way for those who are heading in our direction. Ask for forgiveness. Welcome your spirit back from its wandering. It may return in pieces, in tatters. Gather them together. They will be happy to be found after being lost for so long. Even though this is the end, this is the start of life.
