And So It Begins…

Right now, I’m sitting alone in my dormitory. And it dawns on me.

Thanks Roy for the ride from church. I’ve already been out of Maryland for just a little over a week now. But I haven’t ever really thought about college actually starting. I remember people asking me how it was going. And I would always reply that things were going too fast for me to really comprehend what was going on. Before I moved in, I was busy with family. When I moved in, I was busy going to all those USC events that help students get acquainted to the school and meeting new faces. And this past weekend I stayed over at Tiffany’s (Karthik, she’s my AUNT) house and then there was church.

But school starts tomorrow. There is no going back. No pause button to just take a breather. It starts… not right now, but very soon.

Whitney just left this note on the blog: “btw. mommy cried in the car when we left tiff’s house. and dad went straight to your room when we got home, opening all the drawers and everything. and summer can’t find you. she tried the basement.”

I’ve been wanting to go to USC for the past 3 years. And now that I’m here, I finally find out all that I left behind. Who can I trust now? Who can I turn to?

People, no matter how corny this sounds, know this: love those that you can love now, and don’t wait until later. People have always told this to me. And I never listened. You don’t comprehend it until you go through it yourself. You say, “Yeah, yeah. I know.” I said that. I didn’t believe it either. And now I do.

So now, although there are many that love me and I love them too, they are far away. There’s only One that is still very close. Here with me right now, actually. Thank You for always being there. I need You more than ever before.
