"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy, are drifting through my open mind, posessing and caressing me."
-"Across The Universe" by The Beatles
Walking through the darkness, not being able to see where you're going. Only basing your apprehensive movements on an instinctive "feeling" that you have. The path is rocky, steep at times. You start to struggle, thinking you're not gonna make it. And the whole time, you keep walking... slowly but surely, thinking about all the terrible things that might happen. While lost in your own thoughts of doom, you don't realize that you've made it. You're there... you made it. All of a sudden, things aren't so dark anymore. You've realized what you're capable of accomplishing. And now you're ready to bask in the light of your success. It's a shame that many people don't realize how far they've come. Realization of success only brings a hunger for more.
This weekend, I had an awakening experience. I woke up at 4:45 in the morning to embark on an adventure that even I wasn't sure about. But I decided to go anyway. Myself, as well as Janna, one of my fellow interns decided to go for a hike up the mountain at the nature reserve down the road from where we were staying. We wanted to see the sunrise. The trek up the mountain was hard at times, and I felt like I could go no further. But I told myself that this was something that I shouldn't give up on, unlike countless things taht I have encountered in my life thus far. We finally got up to the top at around 5:30. We just sat there and talked, waiting for the sun to come up. It was very peaceful. Then, seeing the purple and pink bands begin to appear on the horizon let me know that a new day was coming, and that I was here to see it. A sense of calm swept over me, I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes. It felt good to be alive.
This is my last week here at my internship... I hope to make it the best week. Say some things that need to be said, and enjoy the time that I have left with my mentors and fellow interns. No regrets, right?
I hope that all of you reading this are doing well. And as always, if nobody told you that you are awesome today, just know that I think you are! Take care.
