18:41Gabriel

18:42Sarah

why weird?

i'm alright

18:43Gabriel

why just alright?

18:43Sarah

i dont know.. i have just been thinking about things

18:43Gabriel

tlk to me babe

18:43Sarah

college and changes and growing up

and everything came so soon.. like everyone is leaving next year. and it's going to be difficult to adjust again, and even though it may be amazing i'm still going to miss high school i think

and seeing everyone

18:44Gabriel

mm

is it cuz 4th quarter just started?

18:45Sarah

no

i have been thinking this for a while now

i'm just sad that its all over

18:46Gabriel

nothing ever ends, love

18:46Sarah

explain

18:46Gabriel

i know that's not sound advice, but trust me when i tell you that this life you live, this life you love can never escape you so long as you never let go of its memory

and more importantly, if you never let go of how these memories make you feel

at the same time tho, the change is inevitable. it will come no matter what and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

18:47Sarah

but i dont want just memories.. i want to keep this

that's true

18:47Gabriel

what's the difference? your memories can be just as beautiful as the moments coming in real time

if anything

they can be even more beautiful

18:48Sarah

wow

that is so true

thank you

18:48Gabriel

as days go on and you hold onto the beautiful things that have happened, you can learn to appreciate them more, making them mean more to you

18:48Sarah

i guess i just see my future looming in the distance, because i can't control it, and i can't see it being better than anything is right now.. but that is just because i'm unsure of it

that is amazing advice.

but i need to look at it positively and let my life be lived

18:49Gabriel

exactly

don't worry about what will happen

worry about what is happening

love

what is happening

love it furiously and without hesitation or consequence

and learn

to love the memory

just as furiously as you love the moment

don't live in the past, and don't live in the future. neither will provide comfort

instead, live now with each passing pulse

cherish it

and take it with as you march forward to the horizon
