So a little less than a week ago I graduated from high school. It was weird. The ceremony itself felt anti climatic and boring. However in the last few days I’ve come to the realization that my whole life is different now; no longer will my life be on the same time clock. Everything I knew to expect season to season throughout the year isn’t the same anymore. It’s not like I’m just on summer break and then in the fall I’ll go back to the same familiar setting of school and everything will be the way it was for the past 16 some years of my life. Nothing is the same from here on out.
Relationships are changing, too. Keeping up with a relationship won’t be as easy as it was during school, because I saw those people all day, five days a week. Now it requires effort, and effort is tiring. I also feel as though these fragile relationships hang in the balance due to this endeavor I’ll be taking on in the fall. Which I know is such a silly thing to be concerned about, seeing as I am being given the opportunity to further God’s Kingdom and share the Gospel on a global scale. But nonetheless, this is just what I’m feeling, and that feeling doesn’t change my excitement for such an opportunity as this is.
All in all, life after high school has been strange so far. I’m excited to see where it takes me though, and embrace any strangeness I encounter along the way.
