We're really growing up

Last night Ali, Yaires, Emily and I went to see Toy Story 3. It was hands down the best out of all of them and I cried like a baby at the end. Cried. Sat there with tears streaming down my face and making soft little crying noises. Sniffling included. And if you have to ask why I cried, just go see the movie. And if you've seen the movie and still don't understand why I cried...you have no heart haha. Oh I love that movie. I could go and watch it again and again. It was a little more grown up than I thought it would be but hey the movie was about growing up. I grew up with that movie. Those movies. The first one came out in 1995 when I was 7. I'm now 21. Andy is going to college. I'm about to graduate. It was all culminating. Our childhood (at least for my generation) truly is over. Between Toy Story ending and the final Harry Potter movies coming out, childhood really is over. The first Harry Potter came out when I was in 6th grade. Just a little older than Harry was. Now it's done. 

     Obviously I have been aware that my childhood has been over for many years. But those classics are finished too. They'll live on but not like they did with us. Oh I don't know I've just been feeling so nostalgic lately. This whole year is nostalgic for me. The end of a chapter of my life. My formal schooling is almost done. As of December I'm done. No longer a student, in the school sense. I'm in my 20's now and before you know it these posts will be about what I'm doing at work or (very very far down the road) a family of my own. And yes I will still be posting. Because I have realized that I love writing. If I don't get thoughts down on paper, no matter how rambling they may be, I get a little crazy. Well crazier than usual =). Ok speaking of rambling, I'm doing it again. Toy Story 3. See it. Multiple times. Just go. Loves and Kisses from Florence.
