Weekend Recap: Graduation
In trying to make sense of this milestone in my life, I turn to a recent post by my dear friend and inspiration, Lindsey.
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
– Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
For those of you who were wondering, I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a major in English, minor in French and a Global Experience Certificate.
Good bye Waterloo! How ’bout them apples?
