I had the most vivid dream that I was in Taipei again. I know the catalysts were 1. my friend Weini messaging me and 2. graduating.
Six months ago, if you had asked me, “Where will you go when you graduate?” I would was instantly answered, “Back to Taiwan.”
To a point – it’s still true. I’m afraid to loose my footing in a world I’ve barely begun. I need to close my eyes and do what my heart tells me.
How can you ever fully trust someone?
Lately, I’ve been trying more and more to trust myself. I realized that if I want to trust other, I must first trust the person I am giving them. I am a gift to them. Their trust, a gift to me.
Isn’t this cheery?
The realization regarding trust wasn’t entirely new. I’ve always known that. Sometimes it takes more time to accept the things you do know, than it is to realize they exist. Most of the time people already know what they have to do – but the execution of said thought handicaps them.
On that note, I fully believe some exist merely inside their heads. This could become an obscure entry..
On a more tangible note, I’m graduated. Well, technically.
I’m really worried about my GPA. I’m not ashamed of my low GPA. After all, most journalism students spend more time in a classroom. That wasn’t me. I was always involved with journalism outside school. I learned in school, but what I learned in at The Nevada Sagebrush and Insight trumped any book knowledge.
The trick is graduating. I’m not sure if my GPA will suffice for a J-degree. I talked to Bob Felten, and he told me I shouldn’t worry about it. Who cares if I don’t get a J-degree and instead a general studies degree. It never matters.
Perhaps he is right. We’ll wait and see.
Oh and I have to pay all those parking tickets off…. uh oh.
