Hello, I hope everyone has finally moved in and had a great week of classes.
It's going to be a busy year for me, more so than normal, but I have a feeling that's just part of life and growing up.
Speaking of growing up, I'm just going to say that it is extremely weird to be back at school. I had three internships, which were probably some of the best experiences in my life. Coming back now for this last year, I think is going to be a hard adjustment, but also a great final hurrah. This year is already bringing me the closure I didn't know I needed.
Part of growing up is growing out. Out of friendships, out of locations, out of dreams, out of relationships, out of past histories. But that isn't always a bad thing. We growing into things as well. Into new friendships, into our dreams, into our careers, into new cities and countries, into new languages, into new memories, and into the person we are meant to be.
And we can start this process and then finish it, or leave it to be finished at a later time because we are always in some way or another growing up. We will be growing up into our nineties. However, as humans we need closure. We need to feel that sense of finality before we are capable of moving on, of growing up. The process can be started but until you say goodbye to the life you'd been living, in exchange for the one you want to live, something no matter how small a detail is going to eat at you.
So this is my closure. My final year. It's already come with some eye opening experiences, some hard lessons, some heart break, and a realization that this is what I needed. I needed to learn that while I love it here, this isn't where I am meant to be for the next phase of my life.
Part of having dreams, is going after those dreams. I'm ready, ready for life, ready to move on.
I'm ready to follow my heart and its wanderlust, to work in something that makes me happy, to forge new friendships and revisit some old.
So take everything that life throws at you as a lesson, and learn that this chapter of your life is preparing you for the next. And when your life starts to change all you have to do is be ready. Ready to accept what life is going to do, ready to see what you're up to next, ready to become the person you were always meant to be.
So as we move into the school year, and into the hubbub of noise and confusion don't let it distract you from what you want in life, and when life comes knocking. Be ready for the next chapter.
