| | Earlier tonight I performed on the Taylor stage for the last time. Never again will I be able to stand in front of an audience on that stage, or "play" with the theater family. It's hard to describe how I feel now, but the word "nostalgic" is fairly good. Before we warm up we share some adjectives to describe how we are feeling. I picked "excited" and "wistful." I think those capture the two main feelings I am experiencing quite well. During circle, Tracy pointed out the seniors, Josh and I. We each said a little something, and Josh prayed. It was a good time. I felt sad and happy at the same time. Josh got a little gift for everyone, some roses. It was very thoughtful. We had a great last performance, with lots of energy and a wonderful audience. It was a good way to finish. Afterwards during bows we specially pointed out Josh and applauded him, to honor his four years at Taylor theater and his involvement in nearly every play.
This whole year has been one of last times and never agains. The last ice cream social, the last J-term, the last pick-a-date, the last Taylathon. Never again will I play assassins or stick 'em. Never again will I play in the Taylor Orchestra. Never again will I have class with Dr. Brandle and learn how to yodel, or hear Random Brad talk about his latest adventure. The list goes on and on. I think this whole year has been a process of me saying goodbye to Taylor and to the people here.
I will miss Taylor a ton. Yet, it's also time to move on, to the next stage in the adventure of life. What will come, and what will it be like? Will it be better? I know it will be different. But I also know I will look back and remember my time at Taylor forever.
