goodbyeWe have come to the end of this journey, my friends. A little more than 24 hours from now i'll be en route to Ottawa and a new phase in life. Am I ready? yes and no. But then again, is anyone really ever ready?
I'm scared but i'm also excited. Looking back on my highschool career as documented through this blog I've grown a lot, and looking back it's amazing how far we all have come. Together and separately. At the risk of being mushy...I love you guys
Since December 2004 (roughly 617 days/19 months/1.53 years, but who's counting) I have written 465 entries of pain, joy, sorrow, anger and so so so much more.
That's roughly
0.75 per day,
24.47 per month
293.68 per year
...but again, who's counting....
And you were there every step of the way. I can't express my thanks for that.
I can't even imagine what ups and downs i'm headed for, but I can't wait to turn the next corner. This part of me will never die, and I will try to never loose sight of what I've done and where I've come and gone.
With roots and wings, I leave you here. Some of you will come along, and others may stay as a memory of how we are now, but I won't forget. Even when I don't think of this time every second any more, it will still be with me, shaping my days.
With more love than ever before, and more joy and pride in what we all have become, I remain yours truly, for always.
Erin
so the official count is down to 72 HOURS, and yours truly has yet to seriuosly pack anything but one box with her bedding in it. Tommorrow commences crisis packing mode - ever the procrastinator I am.
So kiss me goodbye
Honey i'm not gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Oh, I'm ready for it
