moving forward
hello,
Today was my graduation. I guess I hadn’t really thought in depth about what it really meant until it was over. It wasn’t bittersweet, necessarily, but hold a feeling of finality that I haven’t experienced in a while. Part of it was nice, being able to make peace with the past years. But that was quickly overcome with a homologous feeling of regret and yearning.
As is typical of events like this, I didn’t find any interest in any of the speeches. Something did, however, stick in my mind as food for thought that was a bit more chewy. I really am going to find much more “last” things from hereon, but equally as many “first”s as well. While I don’t certainly feel the most satisfied in the past few “last”s, there will be so many more “first”s as well.
Today I read Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” and reread Asimov’s “The Last Answer”
Yours forever,
