Every day the mystery of life unfolds. And every night we go to sleep not quite sure we solved it.
But today I woke up sure of one thing...Myself.
There were so many things that happened those two days. The thoughts rushed through our heads, but we barely spoke.
There are time when your head is spinning with thoughts. Things you want to say. Things you've said. But there just aren't any words...
And there are moments you wish would just go on forever...
Today, as we stood in the center of town together, I still wasn't sure what kind of a day it was, or would turn out to be...
I'm not sure if it happened that day.... or that summer... but somehow we all felt a little older, a little different...
I knew I'd never forget this summer, or the friends I'd made...
And I knew... I wasn't going to let it end.

GROWING UP

When is the age or even the moment we go from being kids to being... something else? I mean, so much can happen in a year.
People say that we're growing up way too fast. Sometimes adults make it sound like it's our fault. Or at least, our choice.
But how can we not? We feel invincible. And we know so much.
One thing I do know... is that we're so eager to lose our innocence. And I wonder if one day we'll look back and wish... we hadn't.

When exactly do we go from being kids to being... just people, I'm not sure.
I do know that it's not about turning a certain age or graduating from school.
It happens when we're not paying attention. We go from playing with our friends... to playing with our friends' feelings.
Without our knowledge or consent, childhood slips away in the night. And our innocence escapes us...
And we wake up one morning... to find we have become... who we are.
