Morning thoughts:

I think I’m really starting to see who those people are, those that I’m going to keep with me for a long time. Towards the end of high school, I resolved to be open and give everyone my contact number and told basically everyone to keep in touch.

Now that a semester of college is done, I’m seeing the ones I can easily hit up and hang out with. Those that I want to connect with and am able to, and probably the most important: those that I can talk to the same way, like nothing was different, all the while acknowledging the growth that has happened in all of us.

Yesterday, Mr. Hyun talked about having a small circle of friends from high school that he still keeps in contact with. I’m starting to see that now. Although it probably is too early to say - and that group might get smaller and smaller as time goes on. But at this point, I feel much better at letting go of people that are not meant to stay in my life for much long.

Change is inevitable, and growth comes to those who choose to accept that. I’m just excited to see through all the changes and growth, who those people are.
