Obligatory graduation post
Trying to sum up my feelings about the past few days is rather hard. I guess what Morgan Freeman says about "institutionalized" from The Shawshank Redemption suits my opinion best.
"These walls are kind of funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized."
It's a bit melodramatic, but I think it works. I hated Walnut for so long, and it was only towards the end that I really actually got to liking it. Summer used to signal that temporary, glorious lapse of structure from your life, but now it signals an indefinite one. Everything from here on out that we do, theoretically, is of our own volition. I guess I'm having a little trouble coping with that. Part of me feels like I'm having the rug pulled out from underneath me, another part feels a strange breed of relief, and yet another part just doesn't give a fuck.
Well, now isn't the time for regrets. Now is the time for sowing future ones.
