i’m gonna stay 18 forever

so we can stay like this forever…

i put that heading up the day before my last day of high school. and now… my first semester of college is over! just like that! it feels like it didn’t even happen really because it went by soo fast… wow. anyways, back to my point:  that heading is from a brandnew song and it definitely mirrors the way i was feeling as i was graduating high school, and actually, i can still kind of relate to it. high school was safe.. and graduating was kind of a pivotal moment in the history of my life. in high school, i was completely content with my ridiculous naivety, never questioning the morals i was raised on or doubting the religious or political views i had been taught and certainly never contemplating the problems of our world. i wanted to stay forever exactly how i was, with my lovely friends, in our little uhs bubble. i had absolutely no idea that in the seven months to follow, i would learn more about myself and about the world than i had throughout the course of my entire life before the whole college thing. i didn’t ask for this insight, and the tell you the truth, i’m not so sure if i like it. to elaborate on every aspect of this idea would be tedious… if you know what i mean, you know what i mean.
