Where Were You?

Where were you a year ago today? Do you remember? How did you feel, what were you doing, what were you hoping to achieve? Did you enjoy the beginnings of fall? Were you mourning a breakup? Were you starting a new chapter?

Take some time today to think about that. Remember where you were, and where you are. Has it been a good year? A bad one? Maybe even an ugly one? Has there been triumph or tragedy? Growth or decay?

I remember where I was a year ago today. It was my first semester of Uni and I was sitting on the first floor of the math building. It had a cozy lobby with big plate glass windows that gave a view of the leaves changing outside. Many lazy mornings were spent there soaking up the sun and reading Infinite Jest before class. However, it was around this time that I began to grow restless. I had finally made it to college but something was missing. It felt like I had no purpose.

The first semester of your freshman year is always challenging. Lots of new things going on, new people, new faces, new experiences, it can all be a little disorienting and I certainly found my head spinning. It would be later that same month that I'd find myself in a recruiter's office and a very strange chapter of my life would begin.

So, again, where were you? Write yourself a little paragraph to help you remember. If you feel like sharing, send it to the contact email on this site and I'll give it a read! A little introspection can go a long way on the path to self actualization!

That's all for this post, until next time!
