As
I wander these streets I am, so very often, drawn to a bench by the ocean.
I take some time to reflect, rest for just a spell. I see the new, bright faces of the freshly
initiated. They wear their new white coats with pride. It's
difficult to believe that just one year ago, I began my journey
here. I watch them as they pass, a
genuine smile on my face. How very
exciting it has been; for me, for them, for us all. We are all here, daring to chase our dreams,
threatening the forces of mediocrity at every turn, and falling ever further in
love with a destiny not destined, but begotten by our grand desire to
grow. I wish you all such beauty in your
endeavor, and the best of luck. Every
once in a while, we come to realize that we fight for everything, we struggle
and crumble and falter; but we press on.
In this prodigious toil, we needn’t fight for our happiness. Sometimes we only need to let it be, as it
is, the fruit of our labor. Right now, I’m
happy, and I hope that you are too.
Until next time, please live long.
