They say that the most development of the human brain occurs before the age of five, in my opinion, this is far from wrong. It occurs at the age 18, when you leave the place you grew up in, the people you grow up with, and the person whom you have fallen in love for. You are supposed to pick up every piece of life you have created and take them along with you. You could be either traveling thousand of miles away or just to a local community college. Still, you have no choice but to look ahead of you, realize that what you are about to witness is the life that you will grow old with. But what happens if the only thing you have ever known, your life, has been forced away from you. Captivated, enslaved, with distance. Phone lines, email, text messaging, doesn't mean a thing if you can't touch them. Your life has become not only yours, but the person you owe it to. The one who knows you better than you know yourself, the one who has taught you everything about life that there is to know. This might not be your mother, or father, or even guardian. This could be the boy who used to sit beside you in your freshman Spanish class, the one who’s new England accent only comes out once in awhile for it has faded with the dominant new jersey one. Or even the girl who's goofy smile made you fall in love with her, or perhaps the she’s the one that you were too shy to even say hello to, but something about her makes you know she's not one of the rest. This individual has found their way not only into your life, but your heart. They are the only person you ever need to know, the one that you could go on forever with and when you look at them the word "I’d be happy just to watch you age," fall from your lips.
They say that human brain develops the most before the age of five. I think this is far from wrong, you see it happens the day you leave for college, the moment you step foot on campus, and the second you realize that this now your home. This is what life must be for the next four years, but what if you can't accept that realization? What if your home is where your heart is and your heart is the one place you can’t physically be? What are you to do then? So we become college students, we learn the things our previous life could not teachvus. We learn from every black out, every drunken mistake, every bar dance, every failing grade, we learn from the amount tuition is, or from your fraternity brothers and sorority sisters. We learn from the friends that we could have only made if we attended whatever given school we are a student of. But for me, there’s only one person I see forever in. The next four years will change our future, but where ever your heart is molds the life we lead. So my best advice to anyone is to hold onto what we love, spend every waking moment making that one person feel as if they are on the top of the world, because before you know it the inevitable will leave you miles away from the place you grew up in, the people you grow up with, and the person whom you have fallen in love for..
