Dear 14:03,


As I took the final walk around today, a line from Ally McBeal played on my head...

"...Think back, and replay your year - if it doesn't bring you tears of joy or sadness, consider the year wasted."

In my case, I'm not only replaying one year... But four and a half.

Today, I closed a whole chapter in my life; One that I've been meaning to end for the longest time, but one that dragged on for over four years. And though I'm happy that it's over, a wave of nostalgia is washing over me.

I've gotten used to bidding farewell, having had to do so over and over again, for more than half of my life... But endings are endings. And closing chapters are never easy.

As I think back on the four and a half years, that at times seemed terribly agonizing, I am filled with joy not just because it's over, but because as it seems they weren't wasted.

...And so with tears in my eyes, I end this chapter and move on to the next one.


As Always,
D.
