The anti-climacticness of being a university graduate…again.

Anti-climacticness. I have been intimate with this emotion.  When it hits, it hits hard. Actually, it is less of a hit, and more of a succession of waves that wash over you in the weeks immediately following some longed for, supposedly life altering event. There is a great anticipation, a particular tickle of excitement, with certain events. It is a feeling of life having grand, fantastic, unimaginable things in store for you. The feeling that at any moment something colossal, immense will occur. But the days go by. Life goes on, relatively unchanged. To ride the waves of this extreme anti-climacticness I try to remember that every moment is a moment of new beginnings. And new beginnings are just as wonderful as a longed for, supposedly life altering event. It works….sometimes.

I made a Wordle for this post. Here is the link.
