The summer is flying by too fast. Now that I know people, I feel like I've only just arrived- yet in less than a month I'll be packing my bags to head home... most likely.

It's not that I don't want to go home. My little sister is there- I love her so much, and would love to be close to her so that wherever my life takes me she will always be a part of it. Also, my best friends are there... Kristin and Joy will be awaiting me at Coe, Laur will only be a few ours away in Orange city, Mandy and Kare will be up in Minnesota, not to mention the countless other friends who will also be close.

I feel though, like I'm giving up something I've barely tasted. This life out here, these people- they touched me. They've changed me. How can I go back to where i used to be?

I don't want to put this all behind me. But sooner or later, I have to grow up. Because like it or not, God might be pulling me in a different direction.


What does that feel like, anyway? My heart wants to be here.
