may days, may ways

i can't believe it's freakin' may already. the weeks fill up quickly these days. germanfest has come and gone (sniff) and summer will soon be here. i'm always conflicted this time of year, though. going through the phases of high school senior life year after year wears on the emotions. i feel like some of them are my own, and this causes a mixture of fear and excitement with a little sadness thrown in. i can't help but contemplate my own life, my own choices. i watch with pride as my little fledglings begin to take flight.

my heart is so full of all of this beauty...all of this life. i wish that i had a way to share it. i wish that i had someone to share it with. i'm working on that, though.

life is so short, and i'm constantly amazed and frightened by that.
