01 June 2016

I've been doing a lot of thinking. Here's where I stand:

  • I finished high school. I got to walk across a stage in an extremely flattering bathrobe and table-hat to accept a piece of paper for accomplishing four years of school. 
  • I turned eighteen, and almost every birthday wish I received was accompanied by a short remark about how I'm an official adult now and have new adult responsibilities, which was kind of terrifying.
  • I'm getting ready for college. I'm mentally preparing myself to pack up my whole life in a couple months, to move away from my friends and family and everything I've ever known.
It's an intense time. My thoughts are running around frantically in my head of things to do, people to say goodbye to, how to save money, adult responsibilities I should be worried about.

I have absolutely zero ideas for posts. I want to be able to document all of these exciting (and terrifying) things going on in my life, but everything feels swallowed up by more things happening.

This isn't an apology. I'm tired of apologizing for not being around.

This is a promise. I'm not abandoning this space. My life is changing, and in the midst of all the change I want to be able to use this blog as a way to write about my journey. This summer I'm going to work on figuring out a good schedule, so that I will be able to keep up with this and everything else.

Stay tuned.

  3. This will be me in a couple of days!!! I don't know how I feel about it yet but we will see... I know exactly what you mean about wanting to document things going on but not feeling that it's happening. Transferring moments into words is hard.

  7. Yeah, life is definitely very full for you, Hannah, and all of it sounds really really intimidating. And so sudden and way too fast. And whether you need to hear this or not, I'll say it: You can do it though. I believe in you. You have it in you to do amazingly well in this crazy and new time of life. And I'm glad though that you'll come back to this space and keep writing and I'll love reading your posts whenever they come. (Also, congratulations on your graduation and many happy returns for your birthday.)
