“The universe puts us into places where we can learn. They are never easy places, but they are right. Wherever we are is the right place and the right time. The pain that sometimes comes is part of the process of constantly being born.”

It is the time of graduations, the time we leave what we know once again. It is time of reminiscing, the time to look back at what we have done and what we have experienced. It is the time to look at how we have grown in the past few years.

Have we become more mature, more self-sufficient, or perhaps more dependant? Have we grown more bold due to great achievements or have we become more scared due to humiliations? Have we made friends with people we used to consider our enemies or have we created enemies from our past friends? Have we experienced something we want to remember? Have we met people we want to keep in contact with or never hear from again?

Even if we didn’t achieve the goals we set for us, we have learned from our mistakes and from the experience as a whole. We have grown from our blunders, we have invented ways to streamline our responsibilities. Many of us have become amazingly good at lying, to oneself or to others, many of us have realized the value of honesty. All of us have been redesigned, made better. As always, it is where we go from here that decides who we will be.

Are we ready to pass this milestone?

 

Yes.

“But we can’t be free, until we learn to laugh at ourselves. Once you look in the mirror and see just how foolish we can be, laughter is inevitable. And from laughter comes wisdom.”
