"But sometimes when it's late at night
I look up at the sky
And think of simpler times
When it was easy just being us
And the thought of leaving never crossed our minds"
- almost something
I found these lyrics in a pile of old almost something songs. its weird how things change. a year ago when this was written we were so concerned about leaving for college and leaving our teenage years. now its got a whole new meaning to me. our lives are just beginning. i have this thing where when i start thinking about the future i find my way looking towards the stars. especially the north star. its the brightest up there. it gives me hope and allows me to dream freely. it makes me think that if i put my mind to it, ill be the brightest. in less than a year ill be out of this state for good. im leaving. and it was so much simple a year ago when college happened. i guess my whole little speech here is kinda telling you all that we gotta take this life a day at a time. a year will come and go. will i have the memories to hold me through in a new place? will i have done all that jersey has to offer me? will i keep the people that i love close to me? its all a matter of time until we find out.. remember when it was just easy being us?
