#3- Too much going on

I've never actually thought that there could be 'too much' going on in my life. But here I sit, at 12:01 pm waiting for my friends to get up so I can go to lunch, and I am just thinking about things. And there is so much going on. But then I thought even more about these things going on and I realized that most of this stuff is happening to my friends.

Michelle is now and aunt.
Chelce's grandfather just died.
Claire is actually in college.
My group has way to much drama that I am not getting into.
Caleigh (and like, a million other people I know) is engaged.
and me? I'm spending almost every waking moment of my life fearing May 23.

All of these things are happening and I am missing out on them (or am ignorant to them) because I can't keep my mind off the fact that I have to leave my very best of friends in 125 days. I have realized that I need to stop fearing the future. I need to take the time I have with my friends and make it the best it can be. If I keep looking ahead then I am going to miss the good things that I can see if I just live in the present. Because, who knows, the future my never even come.

I also have a problem with looking at the future too much when a lot is going on around me right now. I'm always planning my next step when I need to just stop, look around at what's going on in the present, and enjoy the moment. Happy early graduation, btw.
