~Some time later! Where am I?~

Hello all! I do realize that I have not been the good little blogger I had every intention of being. And by this I mean that I have not posted in a month. (...and a day...But hey, who's counting?) I would like to apologize for me leave of absence, though I don't really have any specific reasons for it. So to recap: Yes, it has been a long time, I'm sorry, and I'm sure you all missed me terribly! (Right?!) Shall me move on?

Recently I have done a lot of thinking about my life. (There's a shocker. I mean this entire blog is only about life!) Mostly I've been trying to figure out where I am at. Where I'm going. Who's going with me. And, who I will be saying good bye to. All of this could be the result of graduation which is now rearing its ugly little head. But (spoiler alert!) it wasn't. It was all because someone had told me this past week that we were at "the beginning of the end." Now, this isn't and unusual comment by any means. But it's not something that can be carelessly brushed aside either! I am accepted into an awesome college that I can't wait to attend (and have been finalizing things regarding it) and yet at the same time I am still winding down the year rather solemnly.

So here I pose my question: Am I at the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning? It's all very odd if you think about it, and not that easy to answer either. After all people make such big fusses about things like beginnings and endings. We see this in stories (Once upon a time...the end!) and even when mapping out our lives. Yet could it be (in the paradoxical norm of the universe) that a beginning and an end are interchangeable names that we give things which we have no other means of describing? So many questions and no possible means of answering them! And yet all of that only leads me to another question: Where am I?

So now I’m going to ask you the same thing. (Mwahaha! I’m making you think!) Where are you? Right now, as you sit and read this. Where are you in the grand scheme of your life? If you really think about it, you may be surprised at what you find out.

(To end in a note –or maybe a preview?-! My next update will feature some additions to my bucket list, including a story behind how they each made it there –I want to start doing this for every new addition- because everything has a story behind it!)
