it's 2 0 0 8.
happy new year!
a new year. a new start. a new beginning.
goodbye to things that aren't meant to be, and hello to the things that are awaiting for me.
bigger expectations and bigger dreams.
it's unbelievable how time passes by so fast.
only 23 days till my birthday. till i am officially legal. one more step closer to being an adult. one more year i have lived and one less year of my life. yet, i still haven't lived it to the fullest. hopefully, 2008 is the year i could start enjoying life more. living every moment to the fullest. sounds so cliche.
and 6 months and 6 days till high school graduation. this thought scares me. high school is safe. you're surrounded by your family, the teachers that are there to baby you, and the friends that had once made a promise to remain "friends forever". it's your comfort zone. but once you walk across the stage to receive your diploma, high school ends. things change. people leave. choices are made. lives are changed.
its scary to know that the people you once know, especially those who were once closest to you, you may never see them again in your life. its scary to know that the choices you make can change your life entirely. should i leave miami? which university should i attend? what major should i study? everything will affect your life. i'm scared of wondering about the "what ifs". i don't want to make the wrong choices and regret anything.
but for now, my new year's resolution would be to appreciate, love, and not take for granted everything that is around me. my mom, my best friend, my besties, my teachers, my classmates, along with everything else. because the time is now. while everything is still here. while everything is still the same.
hopefully, in 10 years, some things will still be the same.
