just something to get you thinking

[archangel]

During this summer I went to a summer medicine "conference". It is the highlight of my summer and the best 10 days of my life that I've had in a while. On the last day, Mr. P one of the program directors asked us all what we had discovered. Here's what I thought when I came home. (I took this from my facebook)

 

 

 

After coming back from NSLC I felt something I haven't felt in a while. That is the feeling of knowing something will only just be a memory. Has I miss NSLC I also begin to remember thought I long forgot. Sitting here being bored I began to look at random profiles and I got to a long time friend-chris ammons and I remembered the dumb stuff we use to do so many years ago. The time we explored the under-ground tunnels near us. The time we played with legos. The time I was alone and he was there for me. And now that has past and he has moved on, with only memories left. And I fear that will happen again. I fear because I know. Nothing lasts forever and that frightens me, but I try not to let it show. And so....What I've discovered is that I fear my friends.

 

 

 

When Mr. P asked us what we discovered my mind was blank, I couldn't think of something I had learned but I knew I had learned much. When peter asked me what I had learned at C2 I couldn't think either. And so what I've discovered is that I block out certain things fearing that they will change.

 

 

 

When I was climbing the tower at the U of M I reached the 2nd level and I felt scared and was thinking about quitting, I didn't and I continued and reached the top and so what I've discovered is that I do not quit.

 

 

 

Well, the whole point of me writing this is to share an experiance with you. Not my first nor last realization that nothing lasts forever. Many of you have heard this but I doubt most of you truly understand it. Seize every oppurtunity, savor every moment and perhaps the moments that bore you will one day be the ones that you miss. One day your friendships will break, your love will end, life will die. You should not fear, but acknowledge it. In the end, all we have left are memories, nothing more than pages in a diary.

 

 

 

Carpe Diem!
