DESTINY

DISTANCE TEARS APART

It was tough from the beggining. Her schedule was absolutely crazy. I was lucky when she had 5 minutes to talk on the phone.

   To be honest her success did kind of make me jelous. She would constantly talk to me about how great college life was, how much she loved the people, teachers and classes. I guess she kinda of noticed and would get a little bit upset.

   I devoted most of my time to trying to make the perfect video demo that all film schools required but I felt like none were application worthy and eventually I gave up.

  When December came around I came to a decision. I decided to apply to Princeton. My parents were able to peril a few strings and got me in.

   On December 17. I remember the day so clearly. I had emailed her telling her the news and that I wasn't going to California.

     She skyped me for the first time in about 2 months later that day. She was crying. Told me something that felt like she stabbed me with a dagger. She told me that she had developed feelings for someone else. That she hadn't cheated on me but it felt like she had. That this made her realize how our relationship was completely falling apart and since I no longer was moving there she felt like it was hopeless. 

So we decided to end it.

I let go of two dreams that day. The dream of making films, and the dream of spending the rest of my life with Jamie.
