That's normal- People graduate. Things change. Seasons come and go.
And we then are forced to move on to something else. Maybe even something bigger.
But that's normal.
What I didn't realize is the sentimentality that's lying dormant inside of me about this event. I ripped it open and saw his little picture. I guess I finally realized what I was actually holding. I looked at my mom and said, "Oh, this is so sad..."
Tears filled my eyes, but I hid them well. I remembered how just yesterday he asked me if I was going to cry at graduation and I was kinda 50/50 on the answer. I could see it, but at the same time I couldn't.
Then my mom said something simple that I'm throwing all of my strength on, just because it's the only thing that will give me courage to face these upcoming events.
"It's not sad. We move from one thing to another."
I walked into my room and sat the invitation down on my dresser.
I almost don't ever want to look at it again, but how mature would that be?
I have to face things. Even if I face them with tears.
It's just an invitation for goodness sake! I can do this.
*Sentimental Heart- She and Him
