liberation

i'd like to say i'll miss the fluorescent lighting and immature antics of that all too familiar building.but alas. that would be an atrocious lie. i spent my last minutes of high school standing in the most painfully awkward circle of people that i could not get away from, which included a certain psychotic ex who i can hardly look at.
definitely went out with a whimper, and not a bang.
i'd like to say i'll look back fondly and miss the good ol' times. trouble is i spent most of high school avoiding people, not going to dances, doing endless busy work and dreaming about college. although, i will say that Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts made me expand as a person, and the one semester i spent there was monumental. theatre often gets misinterpreted as bad musicals and million dollar movies. when actually, it is an art. in which the idea is to represent humanity in a truthful way.  and as far as that goes, i both witnessed and participated in some scary and beautiful representing. theatre taught me to look both behind and ahead without judgement. to leave something up to the moment. that everything is inside of me.
my internship starts soon. i will be working soon. i will be making friends with people who are not in high school soon.
i worked hard for this day, and i am ohso glad it has arrived.

my life is mine, and that is liberating.
