A Castle in Spain

"Why is it that she always seem to challenge others?"

"In an athletic match?"

"Nooo, don't play dumb, you know what I mean…"

"Do you not like her questions? What is keeping you at edge?"

"It's like a trap"

"We're not in a goddamn movie"

"I'm not dramatizing, it is true. There's been whispers about her"

"There was never a time without tattles"

"Her words bewitch them, every one of them is under a spell"

"They oppose honest ideas they refuse to accept"

"But you haven't seen her enticement"

"I am living in her enticement"

"Now you too? Snap out of it"

"Why are you consistently cruel on yourself?"

"I can't believe they all fall for her"

"You're envious, what is with you and acceptance?"

"Acceptance is a long way"

"There are always whispers, at night, during the day"

"Stick to the ground, I can't lose you to the clouds, not again"

"Listen to yourself, it's been long enough"

"She needs rest, yes, but she also needs an awakening"

"Hear me out, let me fin-"

"Children, please, I will light her way"

"Oh look who decides to show up"

"Construction work has worn her out"

"Look at the all the granites they made me carry"

"She should not be flustered with all this nonsense, it's simple"

"The folks have faith, you should believe"

"What does faith have to do with this? Faith, pft"

"The folks are pleading, it's flooding"

"How long has it been?"

"It's been 19 minutes"

"I think she should wake up, it's been too much"

"Let her take the escalator"

"No, she will walk, on her own."

"To the woods?"

"You said you were going to light the way"

"Yes, but you don't get to say when, now put down your cigarette"

"All of these whispers"

"Hush.."

"That person has been nothing but a burden"

"You should see the light the child brings into others' lives"

"But the whispers-"

"Hush!.., she is awaking, let her".

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
