It Won't Be Like This For Long

I’m just a few months away from embarking on the biggest journey of my life as I know it. I’ll be moving home and living with my parents, not for reasons of laziness but reasons of necessity, and then shortly after that I’ll be starting law school. I don’t know anybody else in my class and I’m leaving behind my boyfriend and best friend in the world. Although he’ll be joining me in less than two years, I know it’s going to a tough two years without him by my side.
However, I don’t want to spend this time in fear of the future. I want to live beautifully.

I want to smile and laugh every day.

I want to dance when it rains on my parade.

I want to spend every moment cherishing my life and the people in it.

Law school is only three years. Before I know it, I’ll be graduating, getting married, and having children. Just because the first day marks a tough and scary time, it doesn’t mean I can’t embrace it. Why can’t I enjoy these three years? After all, I’ll never get them back.
