Ready to Let Go

"It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse."

Excerpt from Life of Pi

When September rolled around, It was strange not moving back to Kingston in 4 years. It suddenly dawned on me that now I'm officially entering that new phase of my life still torn between wanting to reconnect with so many lost friends who've came back and wanting to jump start my career and future.

When I came across this sentence, it just hit me how much I will miss it all. A sadness just overwhelmed me at the thought of it. The Queen's student ghetto, my ECE family, the CBC's and most importantly KCCF. It's so hard to say good-bye to something that's brought so much to your life. Correction. That showed you life. You just wish you could go back and give more even though school was the top priority there.

Time has an uncanny way of sneaking by. Days become weeks become months become years. Six months ago, I wasn't ready to say good-bye to university. It was all too abrupt. Now I'm more prepared.

Too everyone who helped me change and given me to confidence to believe in something greater. Something true. To those who shared with my joys and struggles. You all have my undying gratitude. A person can only be so lucky to come across wonderful friends in this lifetime.

I have two desires. One is to never forget and the other is to pay it forward. When we cross paths again, I can't wait to show you the changes that God continues to make in my life and I can't wait to hear about the adventure he's put forth for you. I'm ready to move forward, ready to let go, but I won't forget the memories. Until we meet again.
