The Daily News
1 There are places I remember.
2 All my life though some have changed.
3 Indeed.
4 Sometimes it takes rain, storms, distance, and poetry for us to realize things.
5 I guess I've watched the immense changes that have taken place since last year at this time. It's just so different being so much further along than I thought any of us would have been. The changes happened so swiftly that before we knew it, we landed where we are right now. And now we can stop, get out, and see where we've landed.
6 For many of us, we've moved on. We've built on our strengths and rolled with the changes. We've become stronger, better, and looking forward to further growth and maturity.
7 Others have appeared to have moved on, but have retereated into insecurities and houses made of cards.
8 I guess that's life.
9 Part of growing is watching others make mistakes, especially others we are fond of. We can watch them, love them, tell them, but ultimately people need to find things out on their own.
10 I'm not sure exactly where this is going, but it's moving along with no help from myself. So I'm going to let it fly.
11 As this academic year winds down I find myself reflecting on a year of constant rain, and of umbrellas appearing every time there would be a serious downpour, and how they would disappear when things appeared nice again.
12 I lost mine.
13 It was a year of rain. It was a year of cold. It was a year of clouds, and of the sun bursting through at the darkest hours. It was a year of miracles.
14 It was a year like no other.
15 People and things have changed.
16 Some forever not for better.
17 Some have gone and some remain.
18 It was the saddest year many of us ever had.
19 It was a year of tears and of rain.
20 It was a year in which places had their moments.
21 It was a year of conquest, and of reaching above the mountains to push clouds silently across the sky.
22 It was a year in which we had to think about all our lovers and friends we still can recall.
23 I know I'll often stop and think about them.
24 It was a year in my life.
25 It was a year in all our lives.
25 Peace.
