a Closing chapter

With my brother closing such a big chapter of his life it makes me wonder, have I experienced a close on my life? Have there been big changes that have closed to me that I can't go back to and that altered my life? I think for me they were mostly subtle, it wasn't like I ever moved or that any immediate family member died, the horses and animals, but they have moved on in stages, it is all on stages. Going to college was big, but then I didn't really go far and in reality I can still go home almost whenever I want, was it a closing of a chapter? Thinking back, yes. But I didn't realize it as it happened. My friends moved on, either going on missions or wanting a different direction than I was headed. I moved on. I have realized that, I don't want to be back in high school. I am ready to move on with my life. I'm not quite sure when it happened, like I said it has been in stages, slow progress along the way. But that chapter of my life is done. Kinda sad, but good too. I will always have fond memories, and always hold dear those things, but that is all it is now.... memories, they are different now.
