Everyone is gone, the new era in our lives begun. I will surely miss them all. We have our whole lives ahead of us, and I truly hope we make the best and most of the time. The unknown isn't so scary anymore, just almost discovered. I know we'll lose a lot. Some of us will lose our childhood and its memory. Some of us will lose our zeal for life. Some of us will lose our wisdom and live the remainder of our lives under the illusions of age. But some of us will gain experience, compile it with the wisdom of youth and never grow old.
Some of us will gain love, live for it and die with it. Some of us will gain sadness, disillusionment. Some of us will gain bliss. None of us can know from here just what our futures hold. But if we never forget who we are on this day, if we never forget who we were, all youth and age, ignorance and knowledge, will come together to create a life that truly never loses itself along the way. I pray that all my friends--old and not made yet--to never lose a bit of what is good and never take to heart what isn't. Since I am already lost to that cause, I only pray that my heart be lightened and that I remain as I am now, in essence, for the rest of my life, because I am content with it; and that the day when I look back upon this page and say "What a nice wish that never had a chance" never comes to be.
