last year of being a teenager...

then must i say goodbye to all the angst and immaturity and irresponsibility?

haha.

no. i will always enjoy a good pillow fight, a slip and slide, a lazy afternoon of iced lemonades, a good round of disneyland fireworks, a talk that last until 5 or 6 in the morning...

i will always look back and miss everything as much as i do now.

but i hope to grow in love, in compassion, and in care. i will love my friends even more, even if i see them less, and little things like birthday presents or whether or not we declare "i love you" every couple hours to each other are ceasing to matter as much, and love, and nothing but raw love and the inexplicable fondness we have for one another's souls will surface. i hope to encompass more and more life into my compassion. not just people, strangers, and those in far away lands, but animals, trees, blades of grass.

gosh.

what angst? i don't think i've ever had angst, to be honest. i'm too lazy to really be angsty.

let's start changing the world, shall we?
