Outgrowing a Lovely Life
About this poem
This poem came to me when I reflected on the imminence of moving to college: a change I can not avoid. In this feeling of grief for my life which I have become quite fond of, I see beauty. It is beautiful that it hurts to leave because that pain proves how incredible your life has become, and how incredible a new life may become in the future.
