Episode Seven: One Year Later
A lot can change in a year. Friends come and go, things that you thought you’d have forever are changed, or lost. Sometimes, though, you have to understand that change happens, for good or bad. Having a car given to you one week, and remembering a painful anniversary the next just means that there’s no pattern to life.
Some friends may leave, off to continue their own stories in their own time. Others may change, becoming somone different from whom you remembered, maybe even less of friends. Some friends may seem to drift away, only to return in the most unexpected of circumstances; and new friends may appear from sudden events.
All the while, plans, dreams, desires, they all go by; some requiring extra work, others seemingly impossible. But for the future, it remains a cloudy path, with no true indicators of direction. The best I can hope for is to keep walking despite the rough terrain, and the difficulty of progression. To keep breathing despite the heavy weights that I must carry. The memories of the past, and the lessons learned from that.
All things change, and some for the better. Some things are just not meant to last, we can only hold on to those memories and carry them with us. All things change. All things end. It’s only how you live your life, and how you affect those around you that truly matter.

Hey there… This post pretty much explains everything that’s been stirring around in my head lately. A lot of my friends are going off to college, I’m just now adjusting to the new church, and among a lot of other things, I’m not the same as I was a year ago.
I don’t know how it will be a year from now, but I know I have to take one day at a time, and the rest will lay itself out.
But, anyways, what I was trying to say here…good post.
