I am having a moment and rather than sitting on it I thought I would capture it with a few, simple words.
This moment is one of those flop down on my bed and stare at the four blank walls surrounding me moments. This moment is not monumental or life changing. There is nothing too profound or significant about this moment, I just know this is something I will remember.
This feeling/moment comes at the end of every spring semester. It is mixed with a whole lot of "I'm not really sure how I should feel right now" emotions. This heavy, anxious, nervous, sad, happy, unsure feeling comes at the end of every summer I've spent at home, every Christmas break and any time I've left Lubbock for more than a week. I like to call this moment right here the "I'm turning the page" moment. It is not the end of a big event or a life changing move or anything else too crazy, it's just the character in a book going on a long vacation, closing the door on a relationship, changing jobs or moving houses. Tomorrow, I am turning the page. Tomorrow, I leave the apartment I've been living in for the past 2 years for the last time. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my best friends for a whole 3 months. Tomorrow, I pack up what's left of my room and drive home. Okay, so maybe it is a little more than just a page.
I just really, REALLY love Lubbock, Texas and it makes me sad to think that I will be turning a lot more than just a page this time next year.
Praise the Lord for His divine plan for my life. Praise the Lord!
