when you grow apart from your once formally best friends and slip into new meaningful friendships, when you find someone who loves you inside and out: completely, when you realize where your passion and talents are to direct the rest of your life... that's what growing up feels like.

i'm eighteen. :]

i have jumped off the cliff.
taken chances and done things i've never expected of me, but it was incredible.
i know where i find my identity.
new faces are new relationships are parts of me undiscovered.
cookies, flowers, and a book left on my bed.
you know me.
without even speaking, you know me.
you show me who my identity is, again, when my vision is blurred.
tonight was explosive.
the shapes of the smoke from you and me, the shapes of smoke from the fireworks. the echoes coming from the buildings were enough to move me.
these lyrics blend in with the rush of wind coming from the window.
these lyrics blend with the night. these lyrics blend and
this is what i experience when i remove my life through a camera lens.
stop seeing everything as photos.
and i feel. and i breathe.
and i live.

college is awweeesommmeeee! :]
