- never forget
I’ve been wondering why I haven’t cried yet.
I walked the stage this weekend, blurred by a sea of people celebrating each monumental step we took into the next chapter of our lives during graduation. But I didn’t cry.
I held hands with fellow students as we took a deep sigh of relief and yelped for joy over the booming sound of fireworks ringing in our ears during commencement. Yet I still didn’t cry.
But as I was washing my face in the shower tonight, the waterworks began. It all hit me in that odd moment, when I realized how significantly my life has just changed.
College has taught me more about myself, more about people, and more about life than I could have ever imagined.
One thing I’ve realized is that although I may not initially respond well to change, I adapt pretty quickly. While I usually throw a fit and dramatize the severity of the situation, I quickly adjust to live happily in the new, often forgetting the old.
I think I started crying because I don’t want to forget anything I’ve learned, anything I’ve experienced, and especially anyone I’ve met.
Tonight was my last night in Austin, and I spent it hitting balls off of a cliff (how I interpret Top Golf) and dancing on a rooftop terrace overlooking the lit up city of Austin, Texas that I’ve called home for the past four years. I never want to forget the moment of immaculate joy I felt as I was holding hands with three adored friends (one of whom I’ve known, the other two I met tonight), spinning in a perfect, dizzying circle as our heads bobbed every which way from frenzied laughter. The kind of laughter that starts deep in the pit of your stomach and quickly tiptoes to every other inch of your body to make you feel like you’re dancing on top of the world.
This is the kind of laughter I’ve experienced with multiple friends over the past week, and this is the kind of laughter I never want to forget. People make fun of me sometimes for trying to capture every moment of my life, and friends sometimes even get annoyed at my constant documentation. While I never let it get in the way of living in the moment, I feel the need to capture the essence of every memory so I’ll never forget.
Maybe it’s because I know I don’t have the best memory, but I want some tangible pieces of evidence for every feeling of ecstasy and love I’ve felt for the world and the people in it.
So for the people who have ever touched my life in any shape or form, thank you.
To my friends: thank you for loving the wild, hyperactive, dramatic, emotional me. Thank you for teaching me what love is, whether it was for a person, a food, a place, or an idea. Thank you for showing me what uncontrollable, genuine laughter feels like. Thank you for either dancing with me on top of the bar or cheering me on from the floor. Thank you for being amused rather than disgusted by my abnormal ability to shove large amounts of food into my mouth. Thank you for getting in the car with me and letting me drag you to obscure events or restaurants around Austin (and extra thanks for trusting me with your life because everyone knows I’m one of the worst drivers to exist).
I know it sounds so dramatic for me to say lengthy, emotional goodbyes to people that I will most likely see again in the future. I know it makes some people uncomfortable, and I know it’s not easily understood.
But whether our paths cross in the future or we never speak again, please know that you’ve made an impact on my life. Every friend I’ve spent time with over the past few years has been in my life for a reason. You’ve had a special quality that has made me, along with many others, desire your companionship and friendship.
So while I was upset that I’d forget the feelings and memories associated with my friends, I realize that it’d be impossible to erase an imprint that’s already been cemented into my heart. Your friendship has left a stamp made of permanent ink on my life, and though it may fade, it will never reverse the impact it’s made in shaping me into the person I’ve become.
Every tiny moment spent together has made me a happier person.
So if by unfortunate chance you forget about me, I hope you never forget the impact you’ve made on my life.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou
My favorite place in #Austin for my third and last time😢Cathedral of Junk with my flower children!! (at Cathedral of Junk)
Last pesto chicken Caesar salad pizza from my favorite pizza place Mellow Mushroom😢I don’t think they have this up north.
It’s not on their menu anymore but if you ever go to MM this is the best thing to get!!!! (at Mellow Mushroom)Spent the entire afternoon making #diy floral crowns with my mommy. Not sure if I’ll have occasions to wear all these flower headpieces, but when I get the urge to do a project, I have to do it hehe
#Thrift shopping with my mom is always a success!! #vintage Victor Costa party dress, 80s looking candy striped jacket, and an ivory pleated skirt with sailor buttons. #cheapfashion always! (at MAM Resale)
My lady lover. I always joke we’re a lesbian couple because I keep a spare toothbrush at her place, she reads my thoughts, & we fight like we’re married. They say college is where you meet your lifelong friends, and I’m so glad to have found @jenhowton, one of the best friends I’ve ever had. Watch out world, we’re coming for ya!!
Making the most out of my last 2 weeks in Austin! Weeeeee (at Lake Travis Zipline Adventures)
McPhee + Hilty creating Sinatra magic.
What a beautiful rendition of “That’s Life,” aka one of my favorite songs ever!
Found some TREASURES today!!! Everyone go to the UO on the Drag ASAP for the best $2 sale ever!!!! Found a Rye Rye album, Boo and purple kitty phone cases, leather bound notebooks with really cool paper, a mini speaker, hamburger and squirrel headphones, all $2!!! (It’s like this sale was made for me) $1 nail polishes and a Balenciaga-style purse for $10. There’s nothing like a really good sale to excite me. GOOOOO #Austin GOOOO! (at Urban Outfitters)
Whenever I took the same class in LA as this little boy, I made sure to stand far away so I wouldn’t look even worse being shown up by someone half my age.
HOW DOES HE HAVE SO MUCH SWAG?!!! At that age, all I knew how to do was the electric slide and the chicken dance that they made us learn during P.E. class. Cha-cha slide was even too challenging for me.
He literally kicks his shoe off at :35.
I just can’t.
Don’t practice your pirouettes and heel twirls in the agency kitchen while waiting for your food to heat up because one of the partners will walk in and you will have to awkwardly moon walk away.
$1 #vintage dress that I cut into a hi-lo from #jetrag in LA & a 50 cent belt from a Houston #thrift shop. Cheap fashion always for #ootd
Doc Marten party on Rainey! How appropriate bc I’m wearing their shoes! #sxsw #firstandforever #drmartens (at Bar 96)
