Can I handle the seasons of my life? (58/100)

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

And can I sail through the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Oh oh I don't know, oh I don't know

 

Well, I've been afraid of changing

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older I'm getting older too

Yes I'm getting older too

 

~Stevie Nicks

 

I was listening to this beautiful song today and I started thinking about my life and remembered this old photo. I originally shot it on June 8, 2010 - the 21st anniversary of my high school graduation. Stevie Nicks was specifically talking about a lost love when she wrote the song, but I think the lyrics really apply to all the life changes that we go through. I remember it almost like it was yesterday, but that person I'm remembering isn't me. I barely remember who I was. Who I was supposed to be. Who I could have been. Look at me now. For better or worse, this is who I am. Who will I be in another 21 years? Can I handle the seasons of my life? I don't know.
