I think the realization just hit me. The things I've been pushing away are approaching much more quickly than I've prepared myself for.
It is difficult to be supportive when you're selfish, and when you know that deep inside, you'd rather have things stay exactly the way they are now. Still, I'm going to smile and suck it up, because that's the correct and only thing left to do.
On an unrelated note, I don't recall a time when I was more busy than I am now. Aside from the interviews, school tours and scholarships, essays, projects, and art assignments, tests, failing, and homework, family reunions, arguments, and excessive daily chores, I am apparently the go-to-girl for customized tattoos and commissioned artwork. Get at me.
mkp.
