Moving Out

The house is half empty and the cast of characters is soon to follow. Sifting through the unbelievable wealth of relics here and reflecting on this final summer, I’m left with one conclusion; one that’s been building for a long time. Life does not stop and start at Your convenience. It doesn’t matter how much time or energy you devote to reminiscence, to reveling in a soon to be past. The present will not wait. Events will move forward, new plots will unfold, and you will find yourself instantly removed from the very thing that you hoped to preserve. Anything you hope to accomplish in your life will either happen now or not all. And immediately, the unimaginable life without will be fuller than the one you left. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of this whole transition is how soon I’ll forget why I thought this was all so pertinent.
