a new chapter.

i spent the afternoon writing letters. 
thank-you's, i love you's, and i'll miss you's.. 
goodbye is hard, even if it's temporary. 
the hugging began and the tears followed. 
i tied up my shoes, and i left my second home, my second family.. 
and i ran. and ran, until my legs couldn't take it any longer. 
sobbing, tears streaming down my face the entire time.  
and i simply left. left the world behind.
i lay under the sky, and let the tears roll down my face, until they all ran out. 
and everything had completely sunken in. 
my life will be completely different. 
i wouldn't trade the lats 7 years of my life for anything. 
i doubted. whether or not my decision is the right one. 
but i know it is. 
sometimes the hard thing is what's right. 
and this is a new chapter. 


but i'm a gymnast. 
and gymnasts, can do hard things.
