Graduation

Why is it that when you think you have your life figured out, you find yourself running into a brick wall?

You always feel prepared, and then you catch a curve ball that you never saw coming. Is that the beauty of life? Being unexpectedly knocked over and being pushed out of your comfort zone?

I have always been a planner--someone that had some idea of where they were going. Now I find that my life can't be planned. I have no idea of where I will be in a year, and that isn't as comforting or as exciting as it may sound.

Though I suppose that is the beauty of life--not knowing how things will be, or what will happen or even who you will meet. It is all part of a process that even the planners in life can't control or anticipate.

Graduation has really knocked me on my ass.
