So Little Time

{Always in motion. We never seem to slow down.}

It recently occurred to me how fast time is going by.  And by recent I mean in the past few days.  It has suddenly hit me in the face how little time I have left with certain people.  I tend to forget that most of the people my age are becoming rising seniors and are starting to plan the next step of their lives.  Most people at my school are in five-year programs, myself included, and we have an extra year to breathe and figure things out.  But I’ve realized how many of my friends at school are four-years and are going to be gone after next year! I know that doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it seems so short to me, too short. I want more time with these people before we have to separate and find new paths to follow.  Before I can even worry about that though I have several friends graduating this year, moving on to bigger and better things so soon.  While I’m eternally happy for them I am so sad that I have such limited time with them.  I’m not ready to say goodbye and have to change my ways, figure out how to live without them present and available.  I feel as though I’ve grown so much over the past year and am able to live on my own, but these people have become integrated into my life and I want them there. Selfish of me? Perhaps. But we all are a little selfish and it just doesn’t seem fair.  All I ask is that the next two months go by as slowly as possibly so I can cherish as much as possible while I still can.
