The time of year has come yet again. It always does. The feelings mixed: fear, excited, confusion, whatever it may be,
Endings are hard.
I for one did not realize the comfort I have reached at my university and now feel a rush of fear due to my new beginning. However, so many people are in my boat.
What we are all fearing, the unknown.
All of these emotions natural of course, but to add to it, the emotions we have about what we are leaving behind.
The school year, the life we lived routinely, and everything that came with that. The decisions that some did and did not define us, the information learned and stored to better us, and the every day doings that are going on a brief hold for something else.
Every ending is a new beginning.
Everything going to happen in your life has probably not even happened yet. Scary right? Wrong. Exciting.
This is just the start.
Leaving what you know is always going to hard but we can never grow and learn if we don't leave what we know.
Although this school year and everything that came with it is over, tomorrow marks a new day. Maybe the best day, maybe the worst. However, new.
Tomorrow marks the next day of the rest of your life.
So inhale the good and exhale the bad. Remember the good memories and keep them with you as you start to create new good memories.
Remember, summer is short. You will be back before you know it.
The question is.. where is back? Old or new.
The ending is just a new beginning.
