Hate to See You Go

Well, graduation is Friday and I'm sad that all these amazing people are leaving. It's odd to think of school without older kids ha.

Mainly I'm overwhelmed and lost in many areas. The bottling of all these emotions and over analyzed, yet unprocessed, thoughts are tiresome. I'm feeling the emptiness now, not just cause this is a transition period for me, but because I'm slowly loosing hope. I've never been this lost in faith before and it's unsettling.
Some realizations for this post:
People annoy me. Love has a twisted sense of humor. I'm in too deep. Tears are hot and cold. Life continues in spite of what choices are made. Time strengthens and weakens.

Do You Realize

Well, today I was driving home listening to a mixed CD and the song Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips came on, and I began to cry. The lyrics I have heard multiple times really seemed to have struck home with my feelings lately. I'd like to share these words.

Do you realize - that you have the most beautiful face

Do you realize - we're floating in space

Do you realize - that happiness makes you cry

Do you realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize - Oh - Oh - Oh

Do you realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize



I've also noticed, though obviously slowly transforming into who I am supposed to be, the process has dramatically sped up. Even my choice of music that soothes the current funk I'm in has changed from my usual to more earthy, soulful, raw emotion/talent songs. I'm growing up and I guess I did not fully realize it till now, with less than two weeks left of my junior year of highschool.
