The Future Ahead

Dear Diary,

It's hard to believe that everything is changing so fast. I mean, just a few months ago, I was just a regular girl, trying to survive high school, daydreaming about Min-jun and wondering if anything exciting would ever happen to me. But now? Now, it feels like my life is completely different, and I can't help but feel like I'm standing on the edge of something huge.

Graduation. It's just around the corner.

I think I've been in denial about it all. Everyone keeps talking about "moving on" and "the future," and I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. College applications are piling up, and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I've always had dreams, but they felt so distant and unreachable. Now, they feel like they're closer than ever, and it's a bit scary.

But if there's one thing I've learned this year, it's that I'm stronger than I think. I've been through so much—losing friends, gaining new ones, falling in love, and figuring out who I really am. And through it all, Min-jun has been by my side. He's supported me, and I've supported him. We've been through the highs and lows together, and I'm so grateful for him.

I think back to the first time we met, how I was so nervous around him. Now, I feel like we're in a place where we understand each other without needing words. We've faced so many challenges, but we've also shared so many beautiful moments. And even though graduation is coming, and we'll probably be going to different colleges, I'm not afraid. Not anymore.

I used to think that life had to be perfectly planned out, but now I see that the journey itself is what matters most. The mistakes, the heartaches, the triumphs—they all shape us into who we're meant to be. And no matter what comes next, I know that I'm ready.

There are still a lot of unknowns, but I feel like I'm finally at peace with that. It's okay not to have everything figured out. As long as I keep moving forward, one step at a time, I'll get to where I need to be.

So, what's next for me? I don't know yet, but I do know that I'm going to face it with courage. Whatever comes, I'll take it all in stride, and I'll keep my heart open to new possibilities.

And as for Min-jun? Well, I don't know what the future holds for us, but I do know this: we're going to be okay. We've proven that we can face anything together, and as long as we stay true to ourselves, we'll make it through whatever life throws at us.

Love, Eun-ji
