“People call these things “imperfections,” but they’re not. That’s the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.”
I want to say congratulations to two of my friends. One friend can finally graduate! The other one is now a father!
Those two friends will now have a new chapter in their life. Graduating from a master’s program is not easy, although every graduation is not easy. However, after seeing how he suffered and also suffering the same thing myself, I can appreciate how he feels. I am very glad for him, and really hope I am next in line to graduate. It will be a little boring when having our weekly status meeting without him, because we always sat at the same table. It will be a little sad that there will be one less person that can’t relate to our troubles in the program. Even so, I’m still very glad that he can fly away, out of the horrible loop. We have the right to chase what we really want in our life. Life should keep going, and I believe every one should try to get their own happiness. I know our friendship will continue, although we will be in different places in the future.
My other friend is a busy father now. Why this is special? Although other friends of mine are already fathers, I’m glad for him because I know he was worried about being a father before. Now it seems he is finally ready for this new role, or at least he can be brave and prove that he can be a good father. It’s not easy to keep in touch with your friends, especially when in different countries. We have different environments, but he remembers to share his important things in his life with me. I cherish this friendship too, and I believe he will be a good father. No one knows how to be a perfect parent, but we are willing to try and do our best. I wish that he can build his own sweet and warm family. The place we all call home.
Congratulations again, my friends! Although I don’t know if you will read this post, I want to say well done! Keep going in your own life, and when you need a true friend to talk to, you can always call my name.
