Limbo
I have graduated. That’s it. I’m done. I’ve spent the last 17 years of my life in school and now… …well now something else happens. Everyone seems to know what the next step is for me. They call it “the real world,” they call it “life.” I hadn’t realized i had been in a magical fantasy land where books teach you things and essays appear out of mid-air but apparently it’s high time i stopped playing make believe and start being “real”. What a dumb cliche. I’m making a promise right now to never say the words “the real world” to a recent grad for the rest of my life. So. Now that i’ve left school the obvious next step is a career right? Wrong! I have decided instead to flee the country. That’s right, i’ve embarked on the post-grad Eurotrip (speaking of cliches). This, to me, feels more like a magical fantasy land, a break from the “real world”. I have put everything on hold and entered a sort of limbo where nothing in my life will progress. A purgatory, but a really fun exciting purgatory. More to come!
