when one door closes...

you know that feeling in your life when you realize that one life phase is over, and it's time for a new one? i'm so there. sometimes you fail to recognize these phases when they happen, if they aren't tied to a huge life change of some sort. but i can feel this one coming head-on - and it's great!

i'm now in that place where you hear certain songs, see certain things, smell a certain smell and think of certain times - fond memories. only now you're at place where you realize that those things are just that: memories, things of the past that you've let go of. and i guess at that point, you take a deep breath, hold on, and get ready for the next ride.
