Rebirth on the horizon... Hmmm.

Has anyone in this world besides me seen the movie Willow? Just wondering. =P


I've been thinking recently... This is big news, because it doesn't happen all that often. Haha, just kidding. ;D

I'm getting ready to go to college this fall (hopefully), and the idea of leaving home, being on my own, taking care of myself, cooking for myself, doing my own shopping and laundry -- all that jazz -- has been very much on my mind lately. I've been thinking that each change we go through in life is like going through another birth. A rebirth, I guess.

In birth, you leave the world you have known for all your life and enter a larger, brighter, and infinitely colder world. Everything in this new world is different, frightening. It is the reality that you've thus far only heard in the distance through the security and comfort of the walls of your own world. At the same time, just like birth, emerging from this smaller world is like being freed from a small, dark prison.

In preparing to go to college and all that entails -- leaving my home, living away from my parents (I don't know how that is going to go: I can't even think about it without getting teary), no longer having such an easy schedule or assignments, no longer having my own room -- I am preparing to enter a new, and much larger world that sounds quite frightening sometimes. However, I am sure that in that big new world I shall grow and progress, and soon I shall be very glad that I did not stay in my small, comfortable little world. But right now... It's still in the distance, it still is a bit scary to contemplate, and I am grateful for every minute I have before I enter it. =)

Those are my thoughts for now.
