The End of the Season?

As the end of May approaches I am constantly reminded about how this time of the year is the end of a "season". You may ask "End of a season? What are you talking about?". Well, graduations are taking place at colleges, universities, and high schools all over the country. I just graduated from grad school and in a way I feel like it's the end of a season of my life. My favorite tv shows are having their season finales. What will I watch all summer? Maybe this topic seems really weird, but my heart is partly sad because I am saying goodbye to what's left of my "childhood". I'm saying goodbye to the part of my life where irresponsibility used to live and where decisions I made did not seem to permanently affect me. I am beginning life in the "working world"... the grown up world. I know that I'm not going to give up my childish ways over night and I will still have my "childish" days, but this is the beginning of the end of all of that. I guess my mind has been thinking back on my days at SWU... the fun I had and the awesome experience college was!! I miss those days. There are people that I left behind in SC that I deeply miss. In my heart I really want to move back to SC... move back to those friends and that life. For some reason it seemed easier, but in reality I guess it wasn't any easier. You may ask, "What of your friends in Tx?" Well, most of the people I'm really close to here in Tx I've known since middle school. I moved to SC before and we're still friends now. Even some of them have ventured away from Tx. I don't know... maybe I'm being silly. I know that God brought me home to Tx for many reasons. Too many to count, but I long to return to SC. Maybe this time of year reminds me how I really found who I was in SC. I moved there not knowing anyone after growing up in a small town in Tx where everyone assumed they knew you... even if they didn't. Moving to a place where no one knows you can be very refreshing because you can start new a be the real you. I guess I send this blog to all my SC friends so they know I have not forgotten them. I still long to be there hanging out with ya'll!
