Nice little jog in downtown Sylva and through Dillsboro for my last run before I leave for college. I decided there's no where else I'd rather do it than right downtown in the place I grew up. It's funny how all of the memories come flooding back with every single place I pass by now that I know I won't be passing by them again for a long time. As I ran through Mainstreet I started imagining how many parades I've seen march through here; how may different decorations I've seen on the light poles throughout the years; all of the Greening Up the Mountains festivals; every day as a child that I spent running around from store to store with my sisters, then playing in the fountain; etc..... This sentimental mess was me for the entire run. Don't get me wrong, I am so incredibly excited for Wofford! But that excitement will manifest itself tenfold once I am there, so I am just really trying to take this last bit of time at home to appreciate what I have here at home. I am going to miss this place, but I'll miss my family more than anything. I don't think they read my blog....but if any of you are reading this, I hope you know how much I love you!
