Such a Small Part of Life

In the last four years, since I've been in college, I've gone through so many changes.  The changes have come in all sizes, mostly miniscule, but have added up to be one of the biggest changes of my life.  I have come a long way from the naive teenager I was four years ago.  

I've had some of the best times of my life, and some of the worst times of my life since I left Big Walnut High School.  I've gained some amazing friends, and lost some too.  I've grown wiser, but realized how little I really knew.  I know now, that I don't know much.  I've lost, loved, laughed, lied, but most importantly, I've lived.  My thoughts and fears, my hopes and dreams, they are about a million miles away from my 18-year-old fantasies.  

It's strange how we are the same person throughout our lives.  Our bodies change, our minds change, but we are still the same person.  Our soul remains the same.

I can only surmise that in another 4 years, I will look back and realize how much I have changed.  Where will I be by then?  I don't know, but I do know I won't be here and I'll still be me.
