Can We Create Something Beautiful, And Destroy It?

"What?" I asked you, trying to read the emotion in your eyes. It was hard to make eye contact in the shady hallway. The piano keys seemed to glow in the dark. I expected you to hesitate, but instead you quickly answered me. "Are you destroying your life?" Your face was full of meaning. My quick reply was "no" because that was the truth and those days are over. The more I think about it, the more I'm wrong and I wonder how you could see deeper than I could. 

Because It's Getting Colder, Yeah My Summer's Over

My favorite week of the whole year is over. I'm left with amazing memories that will last me through the stressful school year. The better, stress-free part of my summer is over. Now I have to worry about preparing for school and my summer homework. You'd think I'd be used to it because this is my third year of high school, but to be honest, I'm nervous. I'm scared. Nothing in my life is solid anymore except for my faith. Going into the hardest year of high school without feeling secure makes me worry. I miss the memories I made, the carefree days spent by the lake. Change sucks. Sometimes all you can do with certain situations is stare and say, "well, this sucks," and wait for it to blow over. I've pulled through countless times before, and there's not a doubt in my mind things will get better again. The changes will slow down, my life will become more solid again. Nothing lasts forever.
