Morning of Graduation (This will be a short one)

[maxxxedout27]

I wish I could say that this week was great, but it was almost everything but. Besides the inevitable feelings of loss and grief, I had a lot to deal with in other places. The point is, this has been quite a difficult week to get through. All those feelings I knew would eventually overcome me are finally here because the time has come. I woke up today and laid in bed for a half hour thinking about how unreal this day seems. And all at once, I felt real happiness and sadness. So I guess I'll just have to avoid sad music and take the other route. The clock today, has finally run out.
I have to leave in a few hours. And put on my white dress.
I guess it's all coming together now and I can't believe its real.
I'm thinking that this just might be the happiest day of my life.

"So I am writing my own ending.
I’ll let my pen bleed black or blue.
And I will color in the meaning.
It will be gold and green and true.
And I’ll learn to love my new discovered proof.
I’ll be grateful for this day.
I will be grateful for each day to come" -Conor Oberst
