Bare Foot and Happy

Applied for graduation.
Halfway planned a graduation party.
Sending out applications, resumes and cover letters within the next week or so.

Often, as humans, we feel nostalgic. Sometimes it's an ok thing to hold onto memories...other times, it's detrimental to who we are as a person or who we are trying to allow ourselves to be. "Go get lost, where no one can be found...Say your goodbyes but-darlin-if you please, don't go without me..."

For me...I'm sitting in the same place and I'm completely fine with it. Mentally and in terms of experience I've grown more than I ever thought I would over the past five years, but my dreams are still there, who I am as a person is still there...and my heart is still moving steadfast forward and outward. My memories and nostalgic feelings are still with me as well...but with excitement. Most of the things that I have with me that won't go away are happenstances within the last five years that were brought about by excitement and fruitful curiosity that fueled who I was as a person. And you know what...that excitement is still with me...and it's not going anywhere. "Miles and miles in my bare feet, Ain't going back to Barton Hollow..."

I'm gonna pack up my new The Civil Wars cd and peace outta town soon...bare foot and all...I can't wait.
