St. Elsewhere

As it's the last year of the decade I feel I should blog...

about something.

One of my resolutions for the new year is to be more consistent with my little piece of internet.

Particularly when I go off to university in the fall.

But now, I think I'll do a yearly synapse.

Highlights of this year:

I've figured out where I'm going.

  

Not just to school but in my life.

It's more of a relief then an accomplishment,

if I'm being honest with myself. 

The first half of the last year of High School has been

A LOT more fun then the other 3 years.

Thanks to my friends.

My hands have become more practiced in artistic mediums.

And I've had my fair share of epiphanies when it comes to being an

Artist.

I've also discovered my niche in Stop Motion.

and plan to pursue my youtube account

[We'll see how well that actually goes.]

Lowlights of this year:

I've realized its my last full year living at home...

for the rest of my life.

Never, for 365 days year round, will I be able to call this

HOME.

It's almost like a slap in the face;

it IS reality slapping me in the face.

I feel as if I've taken this year for granted. 

I'm dealing with issues of letting go.

With all the fun things we did,

particularly in Youth Group.

I'm going to miss being a part of that. 

I guess a fear of change is natural;

and if life were to stay like this forever in Farmington

I would have an even harder time leaving.

But I know, nothing stays the same.

and I'm 17 years old...

6 months away from becoming an adult-

and St. Elsewhere is calling my name.
