and I'm only realizing it too late.
Its the time I'll have to hang with the best friends of my life. Ill not get to go running with my friends, working out, and gaming, everything like it is now two years from now. In the future I shall do my best and value my recreation time as much as possible, but it'll never be just the same as it now. I'll change. They'll change, but the most drastic thing is that our life schedules will change. I find it hard to change now and endure the suffering, but I'm getting there. I think of the things that I worry about now, and those notions are really miniscule compared to five, ten, nineteen years from now. Tonight I'm pulling an all-nighter, but I feel great about it. I can do this. I will do this. The paper and notebook are due at 12:30, and I can totally do this. I can change myself.
Many people simply accept that who they are now is who they have to be forever. Well, the person you are now is the person you have always been. However, to realize that your personality and habits can be changed is the realization that you can become a better person with that better future you seek. ME? Well, that better time is right now, and I have to stop selling myself short that I live in drudgery, because I don't.
I certainly will not have anything drastic to worry about in the future, and I can't imagine what it'll be like in a few years when my friends and I go our separate ways. But it's this thing I've come to rely on the past few months: a sense of faith that everything will be alright and that those I know and love will always be with me.
Look, we've got this forum and technology. We're never really separated as long as we technologically connect. You just wait till we have holograms, and then you can chill with your people any time just like they were actually in the room, sans annoying smells, which my buddies have from time to time. I'll probably begin to miss even that, sorta, or at least the camaraderie of us kidding each other, but I'll eventually appreciate my space and have one of those family things. At such time, my good friends will be uncle this and aunt that. I have a feeling I'm going to make all of that possible.
