2016

Summer is ending soon. This takes me, and many of the people that I know, into their final year of high school. According to her MySpace, it was Chalesa’s Birthday yesterday. Having just found out, I was quick to add this event to iCal and set it to repeat every year, as I have done with all the rest of the birthdays. But as I did that, I realized, how many more of her birthdays will I even bother to note? This time next year, I’ll have begun packing up to head off to college. Sure, I might send off an email quick, but then what? When the end of August comes around in 2016, will I even remember what she looks like, or the fact that it took a lot of pleading to get her to sit down at lunch? Will she remember anything about me?

Its so sad to think that almost everybody I know now will all but be forgotten in the years to come. We will all move on with our lives. To go where others cannot fallow, and maybe, not see or hear from each other again. The end of an era approaches. I just hope I don’t let the last little bit of it disappear without regard.
