Graduation week!

Dear friends,

I graduate this week!!!

All of the hard work in and out of school over the past 13 years of my life is culminating here, now.

All the choices, all of the decisions, all of the small little moments have come together to bring me here in the way that I am here.

This week is cause for celebration, for awards, for cherishing one final week with the people I grew up with.

It is very odd that many of these people that I have spent so much time with will now be mostly memories. We will go our separate ways, maybe swipe up on each other’s instagram stories every once in a while and briefly see each other on school breaks, but for the most part, we are all moving on.

This isn’t just for friends, it goes for teachers and administrators too. Over the years, these individuals have played very key roles in building the person that I am. I have grown very close with many of them, and yet I will probably never see many of them again.

This is just how life works.

I think I am starting to understand that many relationships come in different eras in your life. Not every relationship needs to be one that continues forever, that is what makes the ones that do special.

I have friends that I know will be there forever. My family will be there forever too.

Some friends, they won’t, and that is totally okay.

This same principle, I believe, can apply to yourself as well. You are constantly evolving and changing. There are many parts of you that you gain or let go of in different phases, but there are also those parts that will always be a part of you.

Life is very fleeting, but there are some parts that are stable. Don’t try to hang on to the fleeting or push away the stable. This is how you will become dissatisfied and taken out of the moment.

Embrace this pattern of life. Enjoy it. Be with it, and abundance comes to you.

I am so excited for this next chapter.


The Grateful Podcast:

I have a podcast where I interview people much smarter and more qualified than me talking about how you can live a more purposeful life full of gratitude and ambition. 
I release episodes every Monday where I go over a lesson I’ve recently learned.

Every Wednesday and Saturday I release an episode with a very cool guest. 

You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or find the video version on YouTube.
