farewell already, what's next?
Yesterday, I attended the Graduation Rites of the school batch 2005-2006 Stella Maris Academy Of Davao. And a realization came suddenly in my mind.
OH GOD, WERE "IT".
(Cue for the song: After image – Next In Line)
I know this has been a cliché, and kinda crappy to listen to but I just have to say it: WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE NEXT IN LINE.
After watching the 4th year high school students march their way down the aisle, towards the stage, holding their diplomas, with the BIGGEST smile that I have ever seen on their faces, I grasped the truth that TIME won’t slow down, take a deep breath and say: “TAYMPERS pare, kakapagod na!”. I know that I was just a mere spectator of the event. But being able to know some of the people graduating, and some of them even became close to my heart, I understood how it feels to graduate. And I think I’m really not prepared for it. I want to do a lot of things. I still want a lot of things to happen. I still want to try a lot of things. I still want to spend more time with the people close to my heart, especially my barkada. Now tell me, how will I be able to do all of these things if I only have one more year in high school?
After watching their Graduation, I realized that time won’t cooperate with what I want to happen. I SHOULD cooperate with time if I want things to happen. I know it’s dreadfully hard to leave your friends and people whom you’ve learned to love at that very day, but that’s life. We learn to love, we let go, we move on. I am trying to assure myself that after graduation, MAGIC will happen. I pray that after graduation, there will be no torture in my mental and my social being. If I really want to fulfill my dreams and aspirations, I have to learn to let go of the past and clutch on to the present towards the future. I know it will be HARD but I once again try to assure myself that everything will be okay. God will never abandon me.
So to all the graduates of the school year 2005-2006. CONGRATULATIONS.
OH GOD, WERE "IT".
