Graduation.
Today, I graduate.
Needless to say, I am so excited that I can hardly contain myself. There are so many emotions pumping through me right now (as they have been the past few nights). I’m excited, anxious, nervous, scared, elated, and sad. It’s no wonder that I couldn’t sleep a wink last night.
You might be thinking that feeling as much as I am feeling today is a bad thing; it’s not. What I am feeling is ALIVE. I learned a long time ago to appreciate the jumble of emotions that we can experience throughout the day, or all at once. Sure, being happy and elated is wonderful, but when put into perspective, so is being anxious and nervous.
If I wasn’t feeling anxious and nervous right now, I would be worried. This ceremony contains so much meaning. It is an ending, a beginning, a celebration, and a goodbye. And, because I am so emotional, I know that it is really important.
So, I say, bring on the emotions. Let me know that I am alive- truly alive. I want to experience this day honestly for what it is- momentous.
