Separation Anxiety

The days are numbered and theres only two weeks left until I move in at APU. And while i'm terrifically excited about that, there's also some bad news. This is the time of year when the class of 2013 from Western Christian High School goes all over the United States. There have been some tough goodbyes already from people that i've known my entire life and people that I met over my four years at Western. Its been rough, and having mouth surgery did not make this week go any better.
I can honestly say that i've been waiting for the excuse to separate myself from some friends. There are some people in my life that don't benefit me at all and are rather hindering in my relationship with Christ. But, there are some people who I can't bear to separate from...like my two best friends. We call ourselves the terrific three, the terrible trio or sometimes we add a fourth member and call ourselves the fantastic four. No matter what we call ourselves, we call ourselves best friends. However, college stands in the way of our friendship. One of my best friends will be all the way on the east coast, going to an Ivy League school. She deserves it alright. The other best friend is going to my rival school, and while that is a strange concept to deal with, I'm glad that she is going there so at least we can have some form of communication.
The last time I cried in an airport was when I said goodbye to a lot of different people from the United States, knowing i would never see them again, except for the quiet cameo on instagram. None of us would ever have the chance of meeting ever again, and even though that made some of the goodbyes bitter, it also made it ease. These people were involved in my life for two weeks and that was it. Now, on Monday, I will be saying goodbye to my two best friends, and that will be the hardest thing i've ever had to do in my life. We'll be in the middle of LAX and I don't care who knows it. These two best friends are everything to me, and I'll miss them like crazy. We have had some of the most crazy adventures. And I can't wait to see what we do for the rest of the world. But until Christmas break, I'll always have separation anxiety.
