Time is in Control

I'm a Junior. That's amazing.

I already know where I want to go to College. I already know where I want to work. I already know what I want to do. I already know where I want to live. I already know what I plan to do.

I don't really know why I have made all these plans. If anything, my life has taught me that everything is unpridictable. Plans will always change, things will always go wrong.

Though, it seems so close, and maybe that is why I plan. It seems so very near, that I will soon be off.

Weird, as the words "Two Years" can be interpreted in so many ways. To me, it's the amount of time until I go to college, which seems very soon. And at the same time, it is the amount of time until I will be on my own, which seems so very far away.

What of those that are closest to me? What is two years for them?

For my dad, it is a horrible memory that is too close for liking; but also another two years that he has to put up with me.

For my mom, it is a second job to pay the bills, that maybe she can quit within the time; but also is the short time to monday, when she starts her busy week again.

Or what for my dogs? Living day by day, with not a care in the world. Where will they be in two years?

I am still amazed how two years can be interpreted in so many different ways....if only time didn't control our lives..........if only...
