"The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can." Robert Cushing
I suddenly realized a small fear that I've developed lately.
My friends have fretted over the fact that I'll be leaving to move to Chicago soon. Yet, I don't see why they would worry. I love all of them and care for each and every friend. I always get asked, "You're gonna keep in contact and not forget me, right?"
I want to turn around and ask them, "No, I won't forget you but will you forget me?"
I honestly feel like no one is going to want to keep in contact anymore. It's a sad thought but it will probably be innevitable with a few people. Half of the friends I had in highschool are now finally transferring to college too and we'll be even further away than when I was in community college. Others are the friends who I met at RVC and I'm leaving behind.
I hate meeting too many new people and it's going to be so hard to be instantly thrown into a new living environment with new people, places, and things. I feel like I'm not prepared.
I have a place here that I forged for myself and now I need to start all over again. I will not forget the other friends that will not be with me but I also want to make new connections. Sadly, I think my other friends that I'm moving away from will also make connections, which I am happy for, but I think that they will forget about me in time.
I don't have regrets though. I want to be a doctor so bad. It's a passion of mine and I'm willing to go through hell and back to get there. Yet, I will be nervous of the new path I'm creating through this jungle of a world. Will my friend's paths still run parallel to mine but close so that I can still see them through the brush?
To all my friends and family:
I still love you all very much. 3nodding :heart:
