After I graduated last August I found myself in a situation that I've never been in before. When I graduated high school I went on to college, when I earned my BS I went on to graduate school. Throughout all that time I was employed, ready to move on to the next job when one was over. All of my life I have known what I was going to do next before I finished what I was doing. When people ask how I felt after I successfully defended, finished the revisions, and completed all the paperwork, the first word that comes to me is "free." I feel free, in more ways than one. So much runs through my mind when I say that word. It is more than a word.
I am free from the enslavement, degrading treatment, and humiliation of the past several years working for the Kiwi.
I am free to choose whatever path I want to take.
I am free to leave a job if I don't like it, I am no longer stuck.
I am free to move on with my life and find happiness again.
I am free to move forward in my relationship with Fiance.
I am free to enjoy my new close relationship with my sister.
I am free to enjoy life, my life.
I am free.

this post made me want to cry :(
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you obviously, but I want to be free too, and I feel like my freedom is so far away that i will never get there
Thus the urge to tear up :(
You WILL get there. I felt the same way, but it will come.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I'm glad you could move past your grad school difficulties and enjoy your life in the present moment!
