Family

I have always put my family as my priority, however, it has recently struck me how important they are to me. Thinking about my family makes me think about time. It makes me realize that time really does pass by fast. Thinking about time makes me feel a bit scared, since so much can happen and change in just a split second. Just twenty years ago my parents came to Florida to take my sisters to Disneyland. It makes me feel a bit overwhelmed to think that we are once again in Florida, however, not only with my parents and my two sisters, but also with my brother and I. My dad said something today that made me really think about life. If it took us twenty years to come to the same place.. what are the chances thta twe will be able to come again as a whole family? This idea makes me feel a bit sad because it just shows how we are all getting older. Teenagers are constantly talking about how they want to be independent, however, the more I look into it.. the scarier it seems to be. Dont get me wrong.. I do want to be able to live my own life, be alone in the world.. But constantly thinking about the future and wishing isn't enough.. we have to treasure our present too.
Soon I will graduate and start a new stage in my life. It is scary to think about it.. But im looking forward to it :)
