When did we become the adults? When did we become the ones who had to make the hard calls? One by one, we’ve all left our teenage years behind.

We’ve learned that even being apart doesn’t mean we aren’t together. Life has a habit of throwing curveballs. School, careers, new hobbies, friends in need, and family demands are hitting us from every angle. We’re going to need each other more than ever.

The truth was, I’d been walking down a lonely path for far too long.

Life doesn’t come with a script, but some moments don’t need one. Senior year pushed us all. It dared us to embrace wonder and chase love.
