Sitting in a cafe surrounded by all the little teenage first years. Hard to believe that we were once those kids because I don't remember when things changed. Now I'm the one that could be teaching them. I'm the one that could and maybe should tell them to calm down, but it wouldn't matter. You have to go through it yourself to calm down. No ones words will fix that completely.
Right now I am just curious where life goes next. So much is up in the air, and for the first time after those seven long years, I don't know what lies ahead. I know it's good though. Once you make up your mind that it will be good and exciting and new, well then you are just ready for the next surprise.
