It's senior year of high school and I can say this year there's change in the air. I walk on to campus and think to myself damn it felt like yesterday I was a freshman without a clue. But I have so many memories it makes me wish I had more time. "Why? Why did I rush to grow up so fast, because now all I want to do is slow things down"
There's moments where I feel everything in slow motion. being in his car cough syrup playing in the background, windows down driving down west lake at 11:30 at nigh full moon above us. I put both my feet on the middle consul and stuck my head out of the sunroof, looked up at the milky white ball in the sky and instantly know I was happy I'm here. No depression no anxiety no thinking about my past I was there in the moment all smiles surrounded by the laughter of kids I've known since middle school. I had the wonderful opportunity to watch them grow up into amazing beautiful individuals. These are the same people that make me question if my "bad days" are even real. And it's those same people that make me feel free. It's because of those late night drives without a destination with the same individuals that I've found myself.
