A colleague asked us to a party in honor of her daughter’s college graduation. I was at this young woman’s high school graduation, and still remember her as a gawky teenager who had no idea what to do with her life. And now she’s a very cool, sophisticated adult who will be leaving for her prestigious job in Austria after the party.
It’s really funny how I only came here for a year and stayed for many more. I’m very glad I’m not into the “write your way out” mentality. So many people don’t even notice their lives passing them by while they fantasize about a magical future that never really comes. It makes much more sense to love the present instead.
