Nostalgia

I used to think that I was pathetic because of how much I missed the person I was in high school. Now I’m starting to learn that it is okay to be nostalgic for what once was. That being said, I must admit that I miss show choir a lot. There truly is nothing quite like it after high school. I just finished the series finale of Glee, and it really made me miss being up on stage and performing with my friends. The rush (no pun intended) that I felt up there was like nothing else I have ever experienced.

I’m beginning to realize that it’s not a bad thing to miss who I was, as long as I realize that the best truly is yet to come. There was a time before that amazing part of my life, and there will be an even more amazing time in my future. I might just be back in a lull right now, but sometimes you need the normal to really appreciate the extraordinary. Playing the waiting game won’t be easy, but if the results are anything like my show choir experience, it is well worth the wait.

And to all you high school show choir kids out there, enjoy this while it lasts. The long weekend rehearsals and all day competitions might seem daunting now, but you'll miss the smell of sweat and hairspray more than anything. It will fly by, so make it count.
