The countdown has begun. High school will almost be over...as soon as it is over. But even in this term of days left, the motion of life begins to slow down. The eagerness to graduate and move on, seems to slow down time itself. We can hear our breathing, feel the heart beating, see the clouds rolling in the sky. We take time to realize the beauty around us, everything that has changed the same we have. But also some which remain the same, while we have grown. Moving on isnt simply just another phase in life, its a completely new chapter. An open book, filled with empty pages to fill out future memories...ones which will be happy and ones which will be sad. There comes a time when words just cant be enough to express what we feel. In terms of actions, our body paints our emotions onto the canvas which is known as the world.
Never have i felt so tight, so cramped, so sluggish before. Mixed with that is the anticipation of freedom, of opportunity, of new life, of fresh air. All these feelings mixed together is like a whilwind in my head. Steadily, i am realizing the truth. There is only so much I can contemplate before I have to take action. There is only so much to say before I have to actually do. This frightens me, and im not afraid to say it. Its the truth...people are afraid of change. They oppose change, they fight against it as if the change will crush their worlds. But hear this...change only happens if you accept it. A catterpillar will become a butterfly, there is no doubt...that is what God has planned. But if that catterpillar doesnt want to fly, it will grow wings...but the wings will grow useless. If the catterpillar doesnt want to be a butterfly, it will turn into a butterfly, but still live like a catterpillar. Just because the world wants you to change, doesnt mean you have to accept it. You can take on culture, you can wear what culture wants you to...but you dont have to embrace the culture, you dont have to accept what culture wants you to accept.
