I was duly reminded of this bookstore chain – a favourite in Canada. Think of it like Dymock’s or Ingido. Or a not-so-long-ago offline version of Amazon.com. It is this reminiscing that got me interested in tonight’s (or should I say this morning’s) reflectable.
Sometimes along the many travelled and less travelled paths of life, we need to learn to flip open a new page and start in a new place. Even if we don’t want to.
I don’t know if one day I’ll recover this and find how immature (or mature, possibly) I was to write this. But high school has been a very unique and non-generic experience for me, and I know it’s not going to be in the least bit…easy, to let go and move on to a different life.
The reason why I say this is simply because we are all going in many different directions, leaving behind nothing but the trust and belief that one day we will get back together as a graduating class and celebrate all that was experienced for the last seven years of our life (six for me, anyway). I’d like to see how, after we’ve all started a new chapter in our separate lives, often we can get together and let our younger years live on.
It’s been many a rough time, but to be honest, I wouldn’t have exchanged the experience at my high school for anything. Just a shoutout to all of you out there. Had fun, will always remember these times. Good times and bad times alike. It’s all part of the experience!
Challenged =)
